Viburnums-still attractive in Winter

Some viburnums exhibit handsome branches in the winter after their leaves drop. Double File Viburnum (V.plicatum tomentosum) has horizontal branching and is quite showy. Arrowwood (V.dentatum) has many slender stems resembling arrows which form a pleasing spray of arching branches.
If you would like a viburnum whose berries will last through the winter, try planting the European Cranberry Bush (V.opulus). This shrub has red fruit that birds consider unpalatable; therefore the berries last through most of the winter season.
