Mohican Wayfaring Tree

Mohican wayfaring tree is a large shrub or small tree. It is an easy-to-grow plant with thick branches and oval grey-green leaves.

In late spring, it has clusters of creamy white flowers. Throughout the summer, the flowers mature into orange-red fruit that ripens to black. It is a great choice when a large, dense flowering shrub is needed. It also has nice orange-red fall leaf color.

It is smaller than wayfaringtree and produces fewer suckers.
