Description
It is a tree that grows to 20 m tall, with deciduous leaves and gray bark. The fruit is a globose drupe, 5–7(–8) mm in diameter. Flowering occurs in March–April, and fruiting in September–October,[3] in the Northern hemisphere.

Leaves and bark are used in Korean medicine to treat menstruation and lung abscess.[4] It is a naturalized non-invasive species in North America. It is a declared noxious weed in many parts of eastern Australia,[5][2] where its seeds are spread by birds, fruit bats and water in riparian zones, roadsides, urban bushland, open woodlands, rainforest margins, waste areas, disturbed sites, parks and gardens, in sub-tropical and warm temperate regions.[5]
