An upright, thicket-producing shrub that can range in size from 6 to 12 feet tall and wide, depending mostly on amount of sun and water it receives. Deciduous leaves are lobed and toothed, similar to red-flowering currant and reminiscent of maple. Tight clusters of small white flowers appear in late spring into mid-summer followed by persistent brown seed coats; its reddish peeling bark makes it an attractive specimen in the winter garden.
