Viburnum opulus

This deciduous shrub of neutral or calcareous soils is found in woodland, scrub and hedgerows, in fen carr and Alnus and Salix thickets, and on stream banks, favouring damp places, but also found in dry habitats. It is planted in parks and gardens and plants which spread from these sites to the wild sometimes include yellow-fruited cultivars (Lousley, 1976a). 0-400 m (south of Garrigill, Cumberland).
