Sugarberry is a medium to large sized deciduous tree that typically grows 60-80’ tall with upright-arching branching and a rounded spreading crown. The trunk diameter ranges from 1-3' and the mature gray bark develops a warty texture. Female flowers give way to an often abundant fruit crop of round fleshy berry-like drupes maturing to deep purple. Fleshy parts of the fruit are edible and sweet. Leaves are glossy to dull green leaves (2-4” long) and have a yellow fall color.
