wood is ranked 5th hardest among North American trees. At least
35 species of birds eat the fruit and 11 different mammals either
eat the fruit or foliage. The fruit can also be eaten by humans
raw or cooked in pies, etc. Its showy white flowers are among
the first woody plants to bloom. Fall colors are very colorful,
with leaves turning pale orange or gold with red and green fruit. |
