Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur' Bob McCartney willow-like leaves and clean orange-to-red

willow-like leaves and clean orange-to-red fall color are handsome in their own right

The mildly oniony leaves and bulbs are edible

These are the grandchildren of a legend

a connoisseur's evergreen for the shade

and asks for none of the credit

Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur' Bob McCartney willow-like leaves and clean orange-to-red'Winterthur' is the garden aristocrat of the native smooth witherod, an upright, well built deciduous shrub selected by the late Hal Bruce at Winterthur Gardens in Delaware and awarded the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Gold Medal, the Styer Award, in 1991. The glossy green leaves give the plant clean structure and coverage through the season, then turn deep burgundy and red in fall. Creamy white flowers open in flat clusters in late spring and
