VIBURNUM LENTAGO
Grower Notes:

Viburnum lentago is commonly referred to as Nannyberry Viburnum, Black Haw, Cowberry, Nanny Plum or Sweet Viburnum. It is a tall, upright, hardy native species that can be grown as a small tree. It features arching branches and attractive white flower clusters in spring, dense dark green foliage in summer, and dark blue berries and reddish-purple leaf color in fall. Pollinators, songbirds, gamebirds and other mammals will enjoy this plant as much as you do. It is known to be a larval host for the Spring Azure Butterfly. (Note: cross pollination is needed for reliable fruit production)

Lentago Viburnum spreads by roots to form colonies and makes an excellent privacy screen. It thrives in full to partial, dappled sun and is quite shade tolerant. It enjoys evenly moist, well-drained soils, and is perfect for areas near stream banks although it will tolerate drier sites and other soil types.
