Viburnum dentatum
Arrowwood Viburnum
 
Viburnum dentatum, commonly known as arrowwood viburnum, is a deciduous shrub that typically grows 6 to 10 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, rounded habit. This versatile shrub thrives in a variety of soil types, from loamy to slightly acidic, and prefers moist, well-drained soils. Arrowwood viburnum is quite adaptable, tolerating both dry and wet conditions. It flourishes in full sun to partial shade, although it will bloom most profusely when given plenty of sunlight. Its vibrant green leaves turn yellow to reddish-purple in the fall, adding seasonal interest to landscapes. It's a great addition to garden borders, woodland edges, or as a natural hedge.
 
Arrowwood viburnum is a fantastic choice for wildlife enthusiasts. The small white flowers that bloom in late spring attract a wide range of butterflies like the Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus). In late summer, the plant produces blue-black berries that are a favorite food for many bird species. The Northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) and American robin (Turdus migratorius) both enjoy the berries. These berries are also an important food source for mammals such as the Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Viburnum dentatum not only provides nourishment but also offers valuable cover for nesting birds, making it an essential plant for supporting local wildlife.
