Larger woodland shrub with a light yellow fall color. Very nice on sloped sites. An eastern USA viburnum that has been introduced in the Chicago area. Blooms in May with clusters of white flowers. Like most viburnums, it needs only a few hours of sun to do well. However, it will grow in full sun on good garden soil. Fruit is blue and devoured by birds during fall migration. Fall color is maroon-red. I use this plant frequently in tree/shrub borders on 3-4' centers. Arrow Wood can get leggy, but this can be prevented if it is pruned to the ground every couple of years.
