Prefers moist, peaty or sandy, acidic soils, but tolerates a wide range of soils and growing conditions, including poor soils, wet soils, drought, high winds and salt spray (seashore or road salt conditions). Make a great hedge along a road. Groupings of plants need a least one pollen producing plant to facilitate pollination of the pollen receiving plants and subsequent fruit set. Mature height 5’-8’ tall and wide. Native to Massachusetts.
