Viburnum nudum
Smooth witherod (Viburnum nudum) is a deciduous shrub native to the eastern half of North America. It grows to a height of 5-6 feet, with smooth, gray-brown bark on its stems and spreading branches. Its dark green, lance-shaped leaves provide year-round coverage turning lovely shades of yellow in autumn. In the spring, it produces clusters of small cream-white flowers and bright blue-black berries. Smooth witherod is an easy to care for, low maintenance plant, making it a great choice for any garden. The flowers provide nectar for birds, and the berries are a great food source for songbirds, as well as other wildlife. Overall, it's a great addition to any landscape!

watering
The smooth witherod requires regular watering during the active growing season from early spring to late fall. In general, it should be watered deeply once every 7-10 days during this period. During the drier months of late fall and winter, reduce watering frequency to once a month. In addition, water the plant at the base of the stem, being sure to avoid wetting the foliage which can cause rot. The amount of water should be generous but not excessive--enough to thoroughly moisten the soil, but not enough to leave puddles of standing water.
sunlight
Smooth witherod (Viburnum nudum) is an ornamental shrub that grows best in full sun exposure. It prefers at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day during the growing season (spring and summer). However, in some climates, some shade during the hottest part of the day may be beneficial. It is important to avoid exposing the plant to too much direct sunlight in the afternoon, as this can cause sun scorch.
pruning
Smooth witherod should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new growth appears. Prune the plants to the desired shape and size by removing dead, crossing, damaged or diseased branches and thinning out any dense areas or overcrowded branches. Remove no more than 1-third of the total plant material. After the first-year pruning, routine maintenance pruning may be done as new growth appears, removing branches as necessary to maintain the desired size and shape.
