David Viburnum is a compact multi-stemmed semi-evergreen shrub with long leathery blue green foliage that earns burgundy tones in fall. On female plants the large rounded clusters of white flowers in spring give way to showy fruits that begin green, theun turn pink and red before turning metallic turquoise as they ripen. The showy berries last into winter. Flowers best in evenly moist well-drained soils.
