Shrub or small tree with small white blooms followed by red edible berries carried in clusters. Fruits are used as those of C. douglasii (above) and a tea is sometimes made from the twigs. The plant prefers moist well drained soils in full sun or partial shade, is very tough and can take air pollutants and heavy trimming. It is very tolerant and can stand some drought. The blooms, like those of all hawthornes, have a distasteful smell. This species is nearly thornless. Hardy to -20F (-28.8C); height: 30ft.
