Viburnum nervosum, commonly known as Arrowwood Viburnum or Roughish Viburnum, is a deciduous shrub native to temperate regions of China, India, and Myanmar, typically found in mixed forests, forest margins, thickets, slopes, and valleys. It has a moderate growth rate and reaches a height of 10-15 feet (3-4.6 meters) with a similar spread of 8-12 feet (2.4-3.7 meters). This species is characterized by its dense, rounded form and its dark green, prominently veined leaves. The white flowers are quite showy, blooming in spring and are followed by blue-black berries that attract birds and other wildlife.

Arrowwood Viburnum is valued for its ornamental flowers, attractive foliage, and its ability to attract wildlife. It is used in cultivation for hedges, screens, or as a specimen plant in residential gardens. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay, loam, or sandy soils, provided they have medium drainage. While it prefers full sun or part shade, it is also tolerant of heavier shade conditions. This viburnum is relatively low-maintenance, but it can be susceptible to viburnum leaf beetle and fungal diseases such as leaf spot.CC BY-SA 4.0
