These grow on a large bush--7 feet in diameter. The small (1-2 cm) berries appear white at first, but then the white sepals (?) open, rather like popcorn, to reveal a smaller red berry inside. You can view a picture of them with a leaf at: http://gallery.me.com/rwconner#100134 The white sepals have dried and folded back along the stem, but you can see how they (3 per berry) would have encased the red berry. I have found only two bushes of this type and at different times in the Morton Arboretum near Chicago. Any ideas?
Presumably, thanks. My specimen was quite small. Possibly the Arboretum is trying to prevent its spreading.
