The berry-like fruits are popular for making wine, juice, jellies, preserves, and pie. However, this plant is not generally advised for use in the landscape due to its excessive suckering and difficult to maintain form (can become quite unkempt). Very tolerant of various environmental conditions. Indiana NativeAudio Recording AvailableID That Tree Video AvailablePurdue Plant Doctor Available
