This is a tough rapidly growing shrub that is resistant to drought, salt spray, pollution, and damage by deer. It tolerates a range of soil types including poor and infertile. It tolerates shade but will have thinner foliage. Showy white fragrant flowers are followed by fruit that attracts birds. It is a large shrub so does well as a background plant, planted on slopes for erosion control, or as a barrier plant or windbreak. This plant is highly salt tolerant.
