Spice Bush

"The Spicebush, Lindera bezoin, is a native deciduous shrub with a broad, rounded habit which typically grows 6-12' high. Clusters of tiny, aromatic, greenish-yellow flowers bloom along the branches in early spring before the foliage emerges. Flowers of female plants give way to bright red drupes (to 1/2"" long) which mature in fall and are attractive to birds. Female plants need a male pollinator in order to set fruit, however. Tolerates full shade, but habit becomes more open and wide-spreading."
