Mapleleaf Viburnum

Viburnum acerifolium

This small, deciduous shrub features lovely three-lobed leaves, giving it the appearance of a maple leaf. Fall foliage ranges from pink, red, to purple. Berries are a deep blue-black, and are thoroughly enjoyed by birds. Tiny white flowers grow in flat-topped clusters. These make a great understory plant and a showy addition to a shade garden.

To produce fruit, you will need at least two plants.
