Viburnum dentatum (Arrow-wood viburnum, Southern Arrow-wood)

Arrowwood is a natural deciduous shrub that can reach a height of 5 to 10 feet. It is endemic to much of the eastern United States, and it may be found in the Piedmont and mountain areas of North Carolina. Small white blooms develop in flat-topped clusters up to 4 inches wide in the spring. In late summer and early fall, the shrub produces a bluish-black drupe. Fruit set necessitates the use of many genetic strains.

Arrowwood should be planted in full sun to moderate shade in wet, well-drained soil. It can grow in a variety of soils and pH levels.
