Rounded evergreen shrub, whose compound glossy leaves have three leaflets. Black berries in autumn. So far, it has come through the Texas weather conditions (including a couple of significant freezes) better than its cousin A. madrensis, and put on some growth in the past couple of years. After four years in the garden, it finally decided to show us some flowers.
