Latin Name:  Viburnum nudum
Common Name:  Smooth withe rod
Family:  Caprifoliaceae
Author:  L.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  4.5   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Wooded swamps, wet pinelands and bogs[43]. Also found on rich hillsides[82].

Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, it succeeds in most soils but is ill-adapted for poor soils and for dry situations[1]. It prefers a deep rich loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[11, 200]. Best if given shade from the early morning sun in spring[200]. Plants often grow in quite acid soils in the wild[227]. Plants are self-incompatible and need to grow close to a genetically distinct plant in the same species in order to produce fruit and fertile seed[11, 200]. This species is closely related to V. cassinoides[11].
