Northern Wild Raisin (Viburnum nudum var cassinoides) is a deciduous shrub that produces clusters of small white flowers in late June and colorful, pinkish berry-like fruit which matures to near-black in fall. This shrub is abundant on poorly drained soils in swamps and bogs in the Adirondacks.
Showy fruits set this species apart from other viburnums. Fruits mature from green to red very quickly, then slowly from red to blue at an inconsistent rate. Red and blue berries mingle together in clusters, providing visual appeal as well as wildlife value.
Zones 3-9.
