plant sale text: The Maple-leaf Arrow-wood is a native viburnum that produces many small flowers in flat heads in mid-June. Its flowers mature into blue-black berries that are relished as a food source by a variety of birds. The Maple-leaf Arrow-wood has light green leaves, similar in shape to those of a maple, for much of the growing season. In the fall, the leaves turn pink-purple. This species is particularly nice for shady gardens since it produces good fall color even without much sunlight.
