Ornamental shrub appreciated for its wood and medicinal properties. Ideal for hedges. Decorative shrub in winter because of its red branches. The wood is used in turnery to make handles for tools or instruments. It is astringent and antipyretic. The fruits are eaten by the fauna and birds in the forests.

A 4m tall deciduous shrub with pale green leaves. Small white flowers with black bitter berries.

Adapts to any type of soils with a preference for cool and humid ones.

To obtain a more regular and faster germination stratify in hot for 30 days, and then stratify in cold for 5-6 months before the sowing. It is possible to use a sowing substrate for potting or soil from the garden together with a sowing substrate if the sowing is made directly into the garden. The substrate must be wet but not soggy until the germination is completed.
