A splendid native shrub that belongs in every garden within its hardiness range, Brandywine? is by far the heaviest-fruiting Viburnum we have seen.
From early September through February, this compact 5 to 6-foot shrub is hung with huge clusters of round berries that begin green, then turn white and finally sport all bright shades of pink and blue.

By late spring the 2- to 4-inch clusters of white blooms have arisen, lasting into summer. And when the blooms have passed and begun to sport berries, the foliage turns a rich, deep red before falling.Brandywine? was developed by noted plantsman Mark Bulk, and reaches just 5 to 6 feet wide. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is quite adaptable to varying soil types and moisture levels. Zones 5-9
