Amy...how long does it keep its berries? I saw some lovely ones in the GC, but they were already dropping their berries. Mine has no berries ths year, in spite of a good load of blossom. It is very small though. The colour of those berries...unique! Never seen another plant with fruit like that.

Its worth a try Sheila , Karen we've been trying to remember how long this has had berries on it ,at a guess we estimate something between 2/3 months its amazing there no sign of berries dropping off yet ... I've checked in my 'Shrub ' book it says and I quote , " The colourful clusters persist until Christmas " so here's hoping for a longer display :o)
Karen mine is at least 6 ft tall in my book there's also another one called C. japonica which only grows 3ft tall ...

Thats really good news Amy. Thank you. Definitely worth persevering with then. After I saw your pic. I went and Googled it to see if there were any pictures of it 'en masse' but I couldn't find anything. Its a wonderful shrub when mature. :)
