Viburnum lentago
Common Name: Nannyberry
Nannyberry is a tall, suckering shrub or small tree growing 10 to 25 feet tall, found in woodlands, thickets, and shorelines throughout Minnesota. It produces creamy white, fragrant flower clusters in spring, followed by blue-black berries in fall that are edible and attractive to birds. The glossy leaves turn reddish-purple in fall. Nannyberry is well-suited for wildlife plantings, hedgerows, and naturalized screens due to its adaptability and multi-season interest.
