Question
I’m having trouble with the uploader so this is the only image I can submit at this time. This is a viburnum, but can’t figure out which one - the stems are reddish, if this helps. Quite a few of them are popping up on our woodsy Long Island property. I’m hoping they’re native. Many thanks for your help.
Answer
MossGal, good morning. I can't confidently identify the species of Viburnum you have photographed, but it appears to belong to the group that includes Viburnum dilatatum and V. wrightii (these are non-native species that have escaped cultivation). Once the leaves are fully expanded, it may be easier to determine who this is (and other characteristics, such as hairs on the flower stalks and the number of bud scales covering the winter buds will be necessary to determine). I hope this helps get you started.
