Viburnum dentatum Arrowwood
Arrowwood Viburnum
Arrowwood Viburnum brings spring flowers and wildlife value to an informal planting. Broad clusters of small white blooms give way to dark blue-black fruit where suitable cross-pollination occurs.
Its upright stems become more arching with age, and new shoots from the base can widen the colony. Green leaves may turn yellow, red or purple in autumn. Plant more than one genetically different arrowwood for a better chance of fruit.
Moist, well-drained soil supports strong growth. Prune after flowering if needed and manage spreading shoots where space is limited.
