Gorgeous foliage all year long. Mine are 10 years old, but do not make many blooms, therefore, not many berries. How can I encourage it to bloom? I live within 15 miles from where it was developed, in south Alabama, so it's not habitat. The foliage is so beautiful that it makes up for lack of berries.
