  • Question

    Please help me confirm the ID of this bush. It is on our property in Maine. I think it is Viburnum nudum (wild raisin). There are a few rounded teeth on the leaves, the petiole does have wings and the flower bud seems to be only partially cover by the scales. Nasami would like me to collect seed and I want to make sure the ID is right. Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear Plantperson, the plant in the image is Viburnum nudum var. cassinoides. The fruits will be ripe near the end of this month (September). Beautiful images, thank you for sharing.
