Its bark is distinctive with corky ridges, and the leaves are serrated with a pointed tip, turning yellow in the fall. The tree produces small, sweet, dark purple drupes in late summer to fall, providing food for birds and wildlife.

It is often found in river valleys and upland slopes, making it a versatile option for various landscapes
