Shrubs
A deciduous shrub, up to 5m high though usually smaller in cultivation, with thick, corky bark and maple-like, palmately lobed leaves which turn pink, orange or red in autumn. Flat clusters of small white flowers with purple anthers, surrounded by larger sterile flowers, are produced in late spring and early summer. These are followed by large, translucent red berries that persist into winter
