Viburnum nudum var. nudum
Cokesbury Village
Hockessin, DE
This plant is native primarily to northeastern North America (hence the occasional
common name of northern witherod) where it is typically found in low woods, fields,
swamps, marshes, pond peripheries and bogs. It is closely related to Viburnum nudum,
and is sometimes designated as V. nudum var. cassenoides. V. nudum is primarily native
to southeastern North America (hence the occasional common name of southern witherod).
Both species are noted for having handsome fruit displays. V. cassinoides is a dense,
rounded, multi-stemmed, upright-spreading, deciduous shrub that typically grows to 5- 6'
(less frequently to 12') tall.
