Devilwood is an evergreen shrub or small tree with a narrow, oblong crown of paired, glossy leathery leaves and small dark blue fruit. Flowers are 3/16" wide and very fragrant. Devilwood is found on moist soils from river valleys to sandy uplands. It was named because the fine, textured wood is difficult to split and work.
