Chinese Snowball is a great shrub for fall color and attracting birds and 

wildlife. This low-maintenance, flowering shrub grows 8-10 ft. tall with a 

slightly larger spread. Its upright, vase-shaped habit makes it a good choice 

for growing as a tall hedge or privacy screen. In late spring to early summer, 

it produces non-fragrant, white flower clusters that give way to near-black,

 berrylike drupes that birds like to eat. Its foliage turns orange hues in the 

fall. An easy-care, deciduous shrub, Autumn Jazz tolerates a range of soils, 

but prefers well-drained soil. Grow in full sun to partial shade. Zones 3-8.
