Oso berry is a fast growing but relatively short-lived perennial deciduous shrub or small tree of 6 to 16 feet. Fragrant 1/2 inch greenish white flowers usually appear by late winter in loose hanging clusters of 10 to 20 flowers each. Leaves also emerge early taking advantage of sunlight before overstory trees produce leaves and shade. Description from USDA
