| Special Comments: | The osoberry is a large, deciduous shrub that you'll find growing at the head of the ravine in the Pourroy Garden. In February, leaves start to appear. By July, the plant has produced bright orange-red berries that turn a deep blue-black later in the summer. The green, untoothed leaves grow in an alternate pattern on the stem and are three times as long as they are wide. | ||
