Shrubs Trees
A vigorous deciduous shrub or small tree, up to 6m high, with a stiff, branching habit and ovate to oblong, glossy dark green leaves with impressed veins and toothed edges. Leaves are flushed reddish-bronze when young, and again in autumn, and can give off an unpleasant smell when crushed. In late spring and early summer, clusters of small, white flowers are produced, followed by relatively large, oval shaped pink berries that turn red and then black as they mature
