Viburnum nudum 'Earthshade'

A 6-10' multi-stemmed plant, similar in size to V. nudum 'Winterthur' but more compact.  Leaves are a glossy dark green with yellow, orange, and red autumn coloration.  Creamy-white flowers producing pink to blue fruits.  The original plant was given to Michael Dirr by William Flemer of Earth Shade Nursery, Warne, North Carolina.  Mike thought the plant to be superior to other seedlings so he named the plant after Bill's nursery.
