notes
Viburnum davidii is a remarkably obliging shrub. The almost exotic looking, lanceolate leaves are divided by three clear veins. Because they are evergreen, they provide a constant, dark green foil for the small white flowers it produces in spring, and for the metallic, blue berries that follow.
