A large shrub with an upright form and a rounded crown, making this native shrub attractive when planted individually or grouped for a tall hedge or screen. Flat topped white flower clusters bloom in spring, giving way to yellow berries that turn blue-black. Generally multi-stemmed, Blackhaw has dark green, finely toothed foliage that turns red in autumn. This understory shrub or small tree grows naturally along forest edges and near rivers, and does best in soils that are consistently medium-moist, but well drained. In a location with full sun it is important that the soil has adequate moisture. Partial sun or light shade is ideal. Viburnums flower profusely whether or not pollination occurs. However, poor fruiting will happen if there is only one Viburnum available.
