Black haw
Viburnum prunifolium
Black haw is a versatile native shrub or small tree that tolerates both sun and part shade, making it easy to place in most garden settings. It requires little maintenance once established and rewards you with clusters of white spring flowers, attractive fall foliage, and dark berries that birds love. Plant in average, well-drained soil and water regularly in the first growing season to help roots establish.
