Each odd pinnate leaf (to 10” long) has 11-15 lanceolate bluish-green to gray-green leaflets (each 2-4” long) which have pointed tips, serrate margins and are broadest in the middle.
Foliage turns yellow to red in fall.
Five-petaled white flowers (to 1/ 4” across) bloom in dense clusters (flattened corymbs to 5” across) in May.
Flowers are followed by clusters of shiny red fruits (each to 3/8” diameter) that ripen in late summer but remain on the tree after leaf drop.
Branches typically bend downward from the weight of the ripe fruit.
Each fruit (botanically a pome) contains 1-2 seeds.
Fruits are attractive to birds and animals, but too bitter/acidic to be eaten fresh off the tree by humans.
Fruits may be made into jellies.
Smooth, gray bark becomes scaly with age. #15 gallon
