Arrowwood Viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) is an eastern North American shrub with an upright, rounded habit. Blue black fruit feeds birds and other wildlife, while glossy toothed leaves turn orange and red in fall. Flat clusters of white flowers appear in late spring.

The shrub is used in tall hedges, screens, borders, and native plantings. Its common name refers to the straight stems' traditional use for arrow shafts.

The seed has double dormancy: roots develop during the warm phase and shoots emerge after the cold phase.

Cold Hardiness Zone: 3/4
Seed Source: Pennsylvania, United States
Stratification Required: 6 months warm, followed by 2 to 3 months cold
Mature Size: about 6 to 10 ft tall and wide
