Habitat: open wooded floodplains, forested wetlands, shrub swamps, stream borders, rocky woods or ledges, fencerows
Wildlife Value: The flowers attract bees and butterflies for pollen and nectar. Birds eat the berries. Ring-Neck Pheasant and Bob Whites like to eat the seeds and buds. The White-Tailed Deer and rabbits will browse the leaves and branches. The plant serves as a nesting site and shelter for birds and small mammals.
Notes: Suckering, spreads to form a thicket. The plant will colonize if the suckers are not removed. Plant NOVA Natives lists this species as particularly popular with the non-native honeybees
