Half-inch purple-black berries ripen in June and that is the whole complaint: birds take most of them, but what lands stains concrete, brick and car paint, and what nobody sweeps ferments on the walk. Outside that two-week window it is a low-litter tree — small leaves, fine twigs, nothing that needs a truck.
Mature around 15 to 25 feet tall and 10 to 20 feet wide, and 40 to 50 years is a realistic run in a yard under decent conditions. Removals sit in the smallest bracket — ground-level work, no crane — with cost driven by access and by whether the customer wants the stump ground to stop the suckering.
