Narrative
Plants in nature measuring approximately six meters in height; elongate shrubs mostly unbranched; bright-red fruits measuring between 4-7 mm in diameter; tomentose leaves underneath; scarlet fall color. This collection was discovered in 2011 and represents the first report of the species for the state of Michigan (Ryskamp and Warners 2012) and thus represents a widely disjunct population where the next nearest documented population is in southern Ohio (Clermont County).
