Linden Viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum) is a deciduous shrub that is native to Asia. It can be found in open forests, forest margins, and shrubby areas.
The plant is named for the fact that its leaves resemble linden leaves. The plant produces creamy white flowers that grow in clusters from May-June. Red fruits mature late summer-early fall and stay on the plant until early winter.
Liden Viburnum berries are edible raw or cooked. Their flavor is similar to raisins. The berries are best consumed as a trail nibble as they are small and difficult to collect in quantity.
