Looking for a beautiful and edible addition to your garden? Consider the Viburnum lentago, also known as Nannyberry, Sheepberry, or Sweet Viburnum. This stunning native species can grow up to 30 feet tall with a trunk up to 10 inches in diameter and pendulous, flexible branches. In late spring, this plant produces beautiful, large, round terminal cymes with small, 5-6mm white flowers. The leaves are oval, 2-4 inches long, and turn a beautiful deep red in the fall. Additionally, the fruit is a round, blue-black drupe, which is thick-skinned, sweet, and edible. The Viburnum lentago is easily raised from seed and adapts well to cultivation. Perfect for decorating parks and gardens, this plant is a must-have for any gardener looking to add a stunning addition to their landscape.
