It's always a thrill when something that you've waited on finally blooms. Enjoy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Evans" <gardenqueen@gmail.com>

Several reasons. It's native and requires little supplemental watering, it 
has the nicest natural shape and the very best fall color - deep burgandy
leaves - of anything in the yard.   Gives good shade too once it leafs
out. Very fond of this little tree. When I first met Jesse face to face I 
was clearing out that very bed (Dec 99) and finally - it will flower (and
berry).  I am pleased.
