Summary
Rusty black haw is a small upright tree that will bring year-round interest to your garden. It blooms in mid to late spring with creamy-white flower clusters borne on the branch tips. Viburnum rufidulum develops thick shiny leaves that remain lustrous all season long, growing to a height of 10-20’. It grows best in partial shade with average to dry soils. In autumn, rusty black haw develops attractive reddish-purple fall color and bluish-black fruits. It is a marvelous specimen plant for the natural garden with its blocky, dogwood-like bark and combines well with Callicarpa amerciana, Lindera benzoin, Ilex verticillata, Viburnum acerifolium, Pachysandra procumbens, and Hydrangea quercifolia.
