With showy flowers and fruit, excellent fall color, and a multi-stemmed arching habit, Northern Wild Raisin has it all. The white flat-topped flower clusters borne in May and June provide abundant pollen and nectar for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The multicolored fruit that follows ranges from pink to red to blue-black, remaining on the plant after the leaves drop, providing food for birds and small mammals. 'Raisinette' is a compact variety that tops out at 7' tall, making it a great choice for smaller garden.
