Viburnum acerifolium, commonly known as mapleleaf viburnum, maple-leaved arrowwood or dockmackie, is a species of Viburnum native to eastern North America from southwestern Quebec and Ontario south to northern Florida and eastern Texas. It is a shrub growing to 1–2 metres tall with opposite pairs of 5–10 centimetres long and broad, three- to five-lobed leaves with a serrated margin. The flowers are white with five small petals, produced in terminal cymes 4–8 centimetres diameter. The fruit is a small red to purple-black drupe 4–8 mm long. It grows in and around upland forest, able to do well in full shade and dry soils. It is found in such US states as Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island New York and Vermont as well as Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Arkansas and Texas. The black berries can be made into jam and the leaves can be used to make a tea. It attracts butterflies and birds and is a larval host to the Celastrina ladon butterfly.
