Mapleleaf Viburnum - Viburnum acerifolium
Looks like Mapleleaf Viburnum - Viburnum acerifolium - a native plant of Caprifoliaceae (the Honeysuckle Family). Also called Maple-leaf Viburnum, Maple-leaf Arrowwood, or Arrowwood.
Maple-leaf Viburnum is a low, densely branched shrub, 4-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. Flat-topped clusters of white flowers are followed by berries turning from red to blue-black. Bright- to dark-green, deciduous foliage, maple-like in shape, is very colorful in fall. A shrub with maple-like leaves and small, white flowers or uniform size in flat topped clusters.
The distinctive, purplish-pink autumn foliage makes this one of our handsomest shrubs. Another native Viburnum with 3-lobed leaves, Cranberry Viburnum (V. opulus var. americanum), has large, showy, white, sterile outer flowers in each cluster and in late summer and autumn bears red fruits suitable for jam. Few-flowered Cranberry Bush (V. edule), with red fruit and only slightly lobed leaves, occurs at high elevations in the Northeast, extending far north into Canada.
Habitats include upland rocky woodlands, upland sandy woodlands, stabilized sand dunes with woody vegetation, and rocky wooded slopes. This is an understory plant in high quality wooded habitats where the shade is not too dense. Native to eastern North America from southwestern Quebec and Ontario south to northern Florida and eastern Texas.
The scientific and common names refer to the superficial similarity of the leaves to those of some maples (Acer); the plant is occasionally mistaken for young maples, but is readily distinguished by the flowers and fruit; the viburnum produces small, purple berries, while maples produce dry, winged seeds.
