This is a super cool – especially in Autumn, shrub that volunteered in a quiet spot several years ago. It always looks interesting, so despite its abundant thorns, I let it go. Fall is it’s prime, with the berries and foliage. Cool stuff. Unfortunately it is among the more frowned upon shrubs one can have – kind of like burning bushes – because it spreads fast and takes over the good foliage. And, apparently, kind of promotes TICK habitats.
This thing might be running out of days..
