Name:
Viburnum nudum (Possum Haw)
Comments:
This is a shrub or small tree with an open and spreading form. It has showy clusters of small white flowers in the spring with fruits that age from yellow to pink to beautiful blue-black by fall. Wild birds and small mammals eat this fruit. In the south this plant is almost evergreen, losing its glossy large dark green leaves late in the season when they turn reddish purple.
Possum Haw likes to grow in wet woods and along creeks, but will also do fine in drier landscapes in your garden. It is usually an understory tree or shrub in mixed woods, but will produce flowers best when grown in full sun.
