Female plants produce showy, erect, pyramidal fruiting clusters (to 8" long). Each cluster contains numerous hairy, berry-like drupes which ripen red in autumn, gradually turning maroon-brown. Best when massed for stabilizing embankments or for hard-to-cover areas with poorer soils or for naturalizing in wild areas.
