Rusty Black Haw - Knowing Your Natives

by Bailey Sons – December 04, 2017

Rusty Black Haw Viburnum

Rusty Black Haw, a plant from Eastern to Central Texas, can be found primarily in outlying wooded areas and streams. It tends to grow differently depending on the environment. Rusty Black Haw can become a shrub averaging about 10 feet or even a tiny 30-foot tree. Though the plant tends to increase in brush areas, it is most visually appealing when growing entirely in the sun. When it blooms, it has glossy bright green leave and clusters of flowers. These flowers are white in the spring, but in the fall, they grow a blue fruit. The leaves also change to a pink or purple shade in the fall. When growing in a more shaded, moist area, Rusty Black Haw tends to be just a single tree with maybe a few growing in the near field. A city with less rainfall can be found in groves of up to about 100 plants. Tn Nursery sells thousands of these shrubs for wetland mitigation plantings.

Black Haw Viburnum

Black Haw Viburnum is adorned with clusters of creamy white blossoms, adding a touch of elegance and grace to the landscape. These fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees and provide an eye-catching spectacle for humans to admire. Black Haw Viburnum is considered a three-season small tree or shrub. It's native to the eastern United States and can be found from Connecticut to Kansas and as far southwest as Texas. It's officially known as Viburnum Prunifolium but is commonly referred to by gardeners as the nannyberry and plum leaf viburnum. It produces clusters of flowers and berries that are attractive to many types of wildlife. Black Haw Viburnum Features and Characteristics It is a big shrub that can attain heights of 15 feet. It's part of the elderberry family and is considered to have a slow growth rate of one foot or less per year. In the spring, it produces flat-topped round flowers called cymes. The plum leaf viburnum grows berries in the early to late fall. The leaves are oval and can grow up to three inches long. In the late fall, the leaves change color, revealing hues of purple and red before falling off for the winter. Where to Plant  It is prized for its height and ornamental value. Gardeners can plant it as a single shrub or tree in order to add visual interest, or it can be planted in rows or groups to provide privacy or a defined border. Attracts Birds For Nesting If you're hoping to attract birds and pollinators, it is a good choice for your yard. The berries of the plant are known to attract cedar waxwings, northern cardinals, robins, and ruffed grouse. If you live where wild turkeys are present, its berries may attract them. The flowers have also been known to attract bees and butterflies, specifically the spring azure, common blue, and Henry's elfin.
