Viburnum prunifolium

Blackhaw Viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium) is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to eastern North America, typically growing 12-15 feet tall with a similar spread. It features attractive, oval, finely toothed leaves and produces clusters of creamy white flowers in spring, followed by blue-black edible berries in late summer. Blackhaw Viburnum thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils but is adaptable to a range of soil types and tolerates occasional drought once established. This hardy plant is valued for its ornamental appeal, wildlife benefits, and ability to serve as a hedge or specimen shrub in landscapes.
