About the
Viburnum - Arrowwood :
The Arrowwood Viburnum, Viburnum dentatum,
is a deciduous shrub which usually grows 6
to 8 feet in height, reaching 15 feet under
ideal conditions. Spread is equal to height.
The habit is dense and multistemmed with
arching branches. The foliage is glossy dark
green, fall colors are yellows, reds and
purples.
The creamy flowers are not fragrant and
they appear in early summer for two weeks on
2 to 4 inch cymes. The fall fruit is a
blue-black drupe, small, very attractive to
birds which disseminate the seeds. An
adaptable and hardy shrub, produces many
suckers, which must be pruned back to keep
the plant compact. It withstands high pH,
heavy soils and various climatic conditions,
