Interesting Notes about Arrowwood Viburnum:

Versitile and durable only partially describe this shrub because it can withstand very tough conditions.  It can handle heavy soils, high pH, and drastic changes in the weather and look good doing it.  The white flowers in spring are followed by clusters of blue fruit that are not edible for humans, but are certainly a delicacy for birds.
