Doublefile viburnum has double rows of flat-topped, lacecap-like cymes (to 2-4\ wide) of fertile and sterile white flowers that bloom above the foliage in May, followed by red fruit (drupes to 1/3\" long) that mature to black in summer. This is a dense, upright, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with somewhat horizontal branching that typically matures over time in a broad-rounded form to 8-15 tall with a slightly larger spread. Ovate, toothed, dark green leaves (to 4\" long) turn burgundy red to purplish red in fall. The sterile form of this viburnum is in fact the non-fruiting species, Viburnum plicatum (see C363 herein), which is commonly known as Japanese snowball bush in reference to its spherical, snowball-like cymes of sterile flowers."
