Viburnum lentago
Nannyberry is a tall shrub that provides year-round interest. In the Spring, dark green foliage appears along with lovely white flower clusters. The blossoms give way to large blue-black berries, which are a favorite of birds .
In the Fall, the leaves turn a gorgeous deep wine-red color, and the birds will continue to feast on the berries throughout the winter (they are edible for humans too!).
This shrub spreads by roots and makes a perfect screening hedge. It can be maintained in a tree shape by trimming lower branches and removing suckering roots. Ideally you will want more than one Viburnum lentago if you are looking for a more bountiful fruit harvest.
Plants can be purchased in-person or online (with in-person pick-up).
All online orders will be ready for pick-up 24-72 hours after purchase. You will receive an email to let you know when your order is ready. We kindly ask that you pick-up any orders within one week of purchase.
