June: The Arrowwood Viburnum continues flowering.
Dentate viburnum is used as an ornamental shrub in gardens. In folk medicine, fruits are used to boost immunity and improve digestion.
Shrub with toothed leaves and blue berries. Blooms in spring, berries ripen by autumn.
Fruits are harvested in September-October when berries turn blue or dark blue. Ripe berries are used for jams, compotes, and tinctures.
Fruits are best not eaten raw due to bitterness. Heat processing improves flavor and reduces astringency.
Used for making jams, compotes, and tinctures. Berries can be dried and frozen for long-term storage.
