Nannyberry, one of Ohio's native viburnum species, offers year-round visual interest! From showy, white flowers in the spring, to dark, burgundy leaves in the fall, this shrub has lots to offer.
This shrub prefers full to partial sun, and can grow up to 15-20' tall with a spread of 5-10'. It prefers moist soils, making it a great species to plant in riparian areas.
Live stakes are dormant, live woody cuttings of a species with the branches trimmed off. Live staking performs an important function in creating a root mat that stabilizes the soil by reinforcing and binding soil particles together. Stake establishment also improves aesthetics and provides a habitat for wildlife. These are intended to be planted in large masses, encouraging the re-establishment of riparian vegetation.
