It is native to various regions of southwestern Canada to northern California. It is a medium-sized shrub, perennial and evergreen, growing up to 3 m tall. It has a medium growth rate, upright habit and oval shape. Its spiny leaves are alternate arranged, dark green, odd pinnately compound, ovate in shape, having a leathery texture, with dentate-undulated margins. The plant flowers from mid to late spring. Its monoecious, fragrant flowers, borne on raceme inflorescences, are yellow in colour and stellate in shape. Ornamental fruits (violet berries) follow.
