'Issai' is a small, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically grows 2-4' tall and is primarily included in the landscape for its showy fall display of lilac-violet fruit which ripen in September and put on their best show through October. Fruits persist beyond the point of leaf drop but not very far into winter. Thank you birds. This cultivar primarily differs from the species by growing shorter, fruiting heavier and producing fruit at an earlier age
