The species in cultivation are shrubs with rather small leaves, inconspicuous yellowish flowers before the leaves and small dark purple or black, berry-like fruits. F. acuminata is hardy in sheltered positions as far north as Massachusetts, while F. ligustrina is somewhat tenderer. They prefer moist soil and are suited for planting along streams. Propagation is by seeds and layers.
