As I mentioned in another communication sent
yesterday, V. trilobum, grows wild in my area, which is zone 3. I agree
with you that the taste leaves to be desired, but the appearance is fine and the
bush would serve the purpose in a cold region like Minnesota. I also had
suggested Elderberry bush which also would survive in the conditions described.

Very ornamental - but the flavor always left something to be desired.
