  • Description

  • Notes

This is a wonderful viburnum growing as an upright, densely rounded shrub, 10 to 12 feet tall and nearly as wide. It has large clusters of fragrant white mid-spring flowers that are followed by showy red fruit that ripens to black, greatly enjoyed by birds. Leaves are large, oval to elliptic, and of a soft, not-quite-glossy green. Fall color is tawny, but the leaves hang on well into the winter months, frequently not falling off until the new leaves begin to emerge in the spring. An excellent screen.
