Its foliage is typically green. Blue fruit, which may be edible (but consult a reliable source before eating), is produced in summer.
It grows at moderate speed from two or more stems to a height of about 2 feet with roots at least 16 inches deep, and has a lifespan of 100 to 250 years. It will readily resprout even if cut down to the ground.
