The tree can become very majestic and have a trunk diameter of over 1.5 meters. It is native to North America and particularly mountainous regions east of the Rocky Mountains.

Teas made from the leaves, bark; twigs and fruit were used to treat menstrual delay, rheumatism, arthritis, skin rashes, and kidney infections. It is a wonderful insect repellent against mosquitoes, moths, wood worm, etc. and was once used with citronella as a commercial insecticide.
