Organic Black Haw berry Fruiting Shrub {Viburnum prunifolium} Zero Waste Plant | Edible | Tea Alt. | 20 seeds Free U.S. Shipping! Blackhaw viburnum is a large shrub with an upright form and rounded shape, making this native shrub attractive when planted individually or grouped for a tall hedge or screen. Flat topped white flower clusters bloom in spring, giving way to yellow berries that turn blue-black. Generally multi-stemmed, Blackhaw has dark green, finely toothed foliage that turns red in autumn. Viburnum prunifolium offers excellent support for birds and pollinators, serving as host plants to numerous butterflies and moths. Viburnums flower profusely whether or not pollination occurs. However, poor fruiting will happen if there is only one Viburnum available. Planting and Cultivation NotesThe "perfect" flowers - having both male and female parts - are self-infertile and cross pollination is needed for reliable fruit production. Two or three shrubs are recommended for ample fruiting.

Viburnum seeds can take up to 18 months to germinate. The delightful viburnum, at home in many gardens, can defy definition with a myriad of variations from species to species. Start the seeds by warm stratifying (mimicking a warm, summer environment) for 2 months. To warm stratify, place seeds in wet sand in a sealed plastic bag and keep at 76 to 86 degrees. Next, cold stratify (mimicking the winter environment) by placing the sealed bag in a refrigerator for 3 months, opening the bag once a week to exchange air. Plant in seeding trays in a cold frame, or covered outdoors. Transfer seedlings to individual pots filled with potting soil, then plant in late spring.
