Possum haw is a big, rounded, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub that thrives in damp woods, thickets, and swamps across eastern North America. Shrub form is rounded and multi-stemmed. Variety cassinoides is the more southern type and has smaller, oval, matte green leaves, while var. nudum (from which Viburnum 'Winterthur' is derived), is more northern and has leathery, glossy leaves. Flat-topped white flowers appear in spring and are followed in the fall by the most beautiful berry display imaginable. Clusters of large " berries morph from light pink, to brilliant pink/red, to red, blue, then almost black when finally, birds gobble them up. In addition to providing food for birds, this variety is particularly useful as a pollinator for Viburnum 'Winterthur'. Plant them nearby one another to get a bumper fruit crop on 'Winterthur'. For best fruiting and fall foliage color, give possum haw full sun to light shade and average to moist soil. Cat# 1608
