Interesting Notes about Smooth Witherod Viburnum:

Creamy white flowers appear a little later than most other viburnum in early summer and are followed by berries that start white, turn to hot pink and red and finally mature to dark blue in clusters. The attractive dark green foliage turns a wine-red to purple-red color in the fall. The fruit lasts into winter providing a treat for both the onlooker and the birds.
