Survives zone 5 through 8
⚠ Honestly: sources conflict. Some list the small berries as edible raw or cooked, but older horticultural accounts describe the fruit as bitter and disagreeable. Best regarded as an ornamental/bird-food berry and oilseed tree rather than a dessert fruit. Edible oil seeds · Needs summer heat to ripen.
