Description
Nannyberry Viburnum is a wonderful native shrub with many fantastic qualities but is often underutilized in landscapes. Native to Wisconsin, it can be a shrub or small tree, and is found in moist areas including stream banks, along pond edges, low woods, or bordering swamps. Creamy white flowers bloom in May/June and while not particularly fragrant are as pretty as the edible fruit that appears in the fall. Glossy green leaves change to shades of orange red to purple as fruit changes from shades of pink to blue-black providing a punch of color late in the season.
