FS-PS, Zone 2, Blooms May - June, 6-10’ x 6-10’, medium moisture.
Viburnum dentatum, commonly called arrowwood viburnum, is an upright, rounded, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub which typically matures to 6-10' tall with a similar spread, but may reach a height of 15' in optimum growing conditions. Non-fragrant white flowers in flat-topped corymbs (to 4" diameter) appear in late spring.
Flowers give way to blue-black, berry-like drupes which are quite attractive to birds and wildlife. Ovate, toothed, glossy dark green leaves (to 4" long). Variable fall color ranges from drab yellow to attractive shades of orange and red. Although widespread in eastern North America, this native plant is only known to exist in the wild in Missouri on wooded slopes along the Salt River in Shelby County.
Native Americans reportedly used the straight stems of this species for arrow shafts, hence the common name.
Host Plant for the Clearwing Hummingbird moth and also for the intriguing caterpillar of the Saddleback Caterpillar Moth.
