This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
↑Uses
Sometimes used as a landscaping plant, where it is valued for its ease of growing, early-blooming white flowers, and edible fruit, which are somewhat blueberry-like. Often grows in a more shrubby habit when cultivated on open sites.
