maple-leaf viburnum, Viburnum acerifolium

Maple-leaf viburnum or arrow-wood can be six or seven feet tall, but is more often a more modest size - about waist high. It can be found in forest understory, and sometimes in gardens. The leaves have a little more interest than the ordinary oval shapes of most of its relatives. The black berries attract birds and other wildlife.
