Blackhaw viburnum At Home
Viburnum prunifolium is a Missouri beauty that has been perfectly at home in cultivated spaces for many years. Although she does not like soggy soils, she performs equally well in full sun or part shade and is naturally moisture adaptive. She handles periods of drought and extended heat without a fuss.
She can either be trained to a well formed single trunk form that fits nicely in courtyard situations or be allowed to thicken into an upright multi-stemmed shrub. She balances herself at a height of 12-15' tall with a spread of 6-12', which is a fairly impressive banquet situation for song birds. As an established tree she may reach skyward with her flower and fruit offerings to a height of 25'or more.
Black haw has nice clean foliage, attractive flowers, beautiful no-mess edible fruit, and a respectable display of fall color. Prune minimally if at all to avoid removal of the fruit and flower buds forming for the following year.
