Viburnum lentago 23W20 Nannyberry Viburnum J4-
Viburnum lentago 23W20 Nannyberry Viburnum J4- (Eastern US Native) Nannyberry Viburnum aka Sweet Viburnum, Mature plant size: 15x8ft., white, USDA Hardiness Zone 2-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW20, In Garden Bed J4 for 8.1 YEARS (Cold). Planted in 2015.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Viburnum lentago, commonly called nannyberry, is a large, upright, multi-stemmed, suckering, deciduous shrub which typically grows to 10-18' tall with a spread of 6-12', but may also be grown as a small, single trunk tree which may reach a height of 30'. Non-fragrant white flowers in flat-topped cymes (to 4.5" diameter) appear in spring. Flowers give way in autumn to blue-black, berry-like drupes which often persist into winter and are quite attractive to birds and wildlife. Ovate, finely toothed, glossy dark green leaves (to 4" long) are abruptly long-pointed. Variable fall color ranges from drab greenish-yellow to reddish-purple.
Adoxaceae family (a-dox-AY-see-ee). A large, upright, multi-stemmed, suckering, deciduous shrub. Favored by Nanny goats. Common in eastern North America. Fruits are edible straight off the bush. Or can be used in jams and jellies. Average soils. Suckering habit, good for naturalizing. I have 2 plants near the backyard south fenceline. Removed old farm fence and cleared area, 2019. Removed Dogwood neighbor in 2020. Trimmed in 2022.
