Viburnum nudum

As goes for all Viburnums, this is a beautiful and elegant shrub. It is deciduous with a bushy, upright habit and leathery, glossy, dark green leaves that change to deep-red in autumn. Long clusters of creamy-white flowers are borne in June, followed by clusters of berries, initially white, then ripening to pink and finally turning blue-black. Quite unusual in cultivation.
