one of my favorite shrubs . Mine have branches up over six feet yet it prunes nicely. great wildlife/bird cover and the flowers are welcome in the very early spring . the berries disappear soon as the birds love them. nice fall color . but have never seen a nest in it but does seem suitable. does spread slowly but easy to control if needed - I let mine spread as I love this plant.
