Nannyberry -- Viburnum lentago
This is growing in the landscaping in my yard. In Indiana, this Viburnum is found in the northern two-thirds of the state where it grows in swampy or boggy habitats that range from sunny to shady. It is much more common in northern Indiana’s lake country where wetland habitats are more widespread than elsewhere in Indiana. It is quite similar to Blackhaw Viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium), which grows in drier, more upland habitats, and which is much more common than V. lentago. One good characteristic besides habitat in helping to distinguish between the two is that V. lentago has a very pointed tip on most of its leaves as seen in this photo.
