Walter’s viburnum, Viburnum obovatum, is a native shrub or small tree, in the Caprifoliaceae or honeysuckle family.
It can be found growing in moist pine flatwoods, stream and river banks, swamps, hammocks, and also in much drier uplands. It has a colonial habit and will produce suckers. It typically has a densely branched habit, but specimens grown in shade will be slightly more lanky. Branches produce many small, stiff, branchlets.
