Viburnum rufidulum Drought Tolerant in the first warm reachA choice small tree somewhat like Viburnum prunifolium. It is tardily deciduous with glossy leaves. It bears clusters of white flowers followed by blue black fruits which are eaten by birds. This is an excellent small specimen tree with year round interest for sun or light shade. Buds are covered with a deep rich rusty brown pubescence. Withstands drought quite well. Plant in sun or semi shade with well drained soil.
