Underappreciated, Blackhaw viburnum is one of the few Viburnum species tolerant of dry soils. White flowers in early spring are followed by blue berries, most enticing to birds. Mature plants can become almost tree-like with a few main trunks that branch like crabapple. The form makes this plant a great choice for the winter landscape.
