Description

Viburnum acerifolium, commonly known as Mapleleaf Viburnum, is a deciduous shrub native to North America. It is known for its attractive maple-like leaves, which turn vibrant shades of red and purple in the fall. The plant produces clusters of small white flowers in late spring, followed by blue-black berries that attract birds.
