Viburnum2_2024-04-22 SW Michigan USA
photographed a bud from this back in March. I asked JoAnn when was it planted - "a long, long time ago", she said. "It was one of the first things I planted". We have lived here 45 years.
Not sure of the identity, we have been calling it a Viburnum.
''Viburnum carlesii'', the arrowwood or Korean spice viburnum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae , native to Korea and Japan and naturalised in Ohio, USA. Growing to 2 m tall and broad, it is a bushy deciduous shrub with oval leaves which are copper-coloured when young. Round clusters of red buds open to strongly scented, pale pink flowers in late spring. These are followed in late summer by oval red fruits ripening to black in autumn.
