Vase-shaped when young, becoming rounded with horizontal branching at maturity. Large, pointed flower bracts in June, persist up to 6 weeks. Bright orange to red fruit is very effective in fall. Bark exfoliates in irregular plates exposing multiple shades of grey and brown, becoming more and more impressive with age. Leaves will wilt in hot sun, does best with filtered afternoon sunlight.
