Viburnum opulus ‘Xanthocarpum’ (European Cranberrybush) is a dense, deciduous shrub adorned with glossy apple green, maple-like leaves that turn attractive shades of yellow or pink in the fall. In late spring, creamy-white flowers in flattened clusters are elegantly held above the foliage at the tips of the arching branches. Rich in nectar, they are loved by butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. In early fall, they give way to clusters of ornamental, translucent, bright golden-yellow berries, which will persist if not eaten by the birds. Lovely addition to the landscape with a long season of interest.
