If you do any hiking in the high peaks of
the Catskills, you’ll be certain to come across
Hobblebush, Viburnum lantanoides (formerly V.
alnifolium). Like many viburnums,
Hobblebush produces berries that provide a kaleidoscope of
colors as they ripen. Three-season interest is provided by
hydrangea-like spring flowers and the colorful fall foliage
shown here.
