In the springtime, this shrub displays fragrant white flowers. You will find these flowers sprinkled throughout the green foliage. As the blooms fade away, they are replaced by dark cherries on the branches. These fruits can be eaten fresh. However, many people gather the berries so that they can be used as preserves.
