This perennial shrub or small tree is also known as Blackhaw, Sweet Viburnum, and Sheepberry, growing 20 to 25 feet tall. Clusters of attractive, white flowers bloom out of slender, arching branches in May, as well as bluish black berries that endure through the winter and provide a food source for birds and mammals. It grows in full sun to shade, and in moist to dry soils.
