Viburnum japonicum,
an evergreen shrub or small tree with
gray-brown bark, inhabits coastal areas, branching well to grow
thick and reach around 6m in height. Components are green when young
but turn purple later in life. Leaves are opposite, with blades
5-20cm long and 4-15cm wide, diamond-ovate or diamond-obovate, and
leathery and glossy. On new branch tops, emerge 6-15 cm across
corymbs with numerous white blossoms that have an odor. Corollas
measure 5-8mm across, cleft deeply in five, and open flat. Fruit
(drupe) is 7-9 mm long, oblong, and mature in red in
October-December. Bloom time: March-May. |
