Introducing Viburnum betulifolium, commonly known as Birchleaf Viburnum or Birch-leaved Viburnum—a rare gem among garden shrubs. With its birch-like foliage, this large deciduous shrub offers a stunning seasonal display. In spring, new bronze-red growth matures into a lush dark green, providing the perfect backdrop for its showy, fragrant, flat-topped white flowers in May and June. As the flowering season wanes, eye-catching clusters of round, glossy red berries emerge, reminiscent of fireworks in their long, stretching pedicels. These berries develop throughout summer, transforming from green to an enchanting palette of yellow, pink-orange, and ultimately, vibrant glossy red by late summer.

Uniquely, Birchleaf Viburnum doesn't require cross-pollination to bear fruit, making it an excellent choice for any garden. Its fall foliage is equally captivating, boasting a striking blend of red, hot pink, yellow, and orange hues. This shrub thrives in part shade to full sun and adapts well to heavy clay soils, though it prefers fertile, moisture-retentive conditions. Avoid extremes in wetness or drought for optimal growth. As Birchleaf Viburnum matures, it reveals an impressive, low-maintenance nature, making it an excellent addition to gardens and arboretums alike.
