    Is this Hobblebush? Found in Holden, MA @Holbrook Forest(sorry leaves shot blurry)thank you!

    Answer

    Dear Pipit, Yes, your plants are Viburnum lantanoides (hobblebush). The opposite, simple leaves with abundant branched hairs and large sterile flowers around the edge of the array of flowers are good identifying characteristics. Best wishes.
