Viburnum nudum (see C366 herein) is commonly called possumhaw viburnum or smooth witherod. It is a rounded, multi-stemmed, upright-spreading, deciduous shrub which typically grows in the wild to 5-12 tall and as wide. It is native to low woods, swamps and bogs in the eastern and southeastern U. S. from Connecticut south to Florida and Louisiana. BRANDYWINE is a more compact cultivar that typically grows to 5-6 tall in cultivation. It is perhaps best noted for the unusually intense colors of its showy berries. Berries ripen in fall to vivid shades of pink and blue, with both colors often found in the same cluster. Berries provide sharp contrast to the foliage, and will remain on the plant after foliage drop to provide excellent winter interest. White flowers arranged in flat-topped clusters (cymes 2-4î wide) bloom in April-May. Elliptic to oblong-lanceolate, glossy, dark green leaves (to 4î long) turn excellent shades of maroon to dark red in fall. Introduced by Mark Bulk (hence the cultivar name) of Boskoop, Netherlands.
