Viburnum ellipticum
Oregon viburnum is a deciduous shrub native to the western United States, often found in moist forests, forest edges, and streambanks. It grows to moderate heights with dense, rounded branching and glossy, elliptical leaves. In spring, the shrub produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by blue-black berries in late summer that provide food for birds and mammals. Oregon viburnum thrives in well-drained, fertile soils with partial to full sunlight and contributes to wildlife habitat, understory structure, and erosion control in forested ecosystems.
