Snow Ball Bush?

[Mrs.D]

I have a snow ball bush growing in the corner of my yard. Does anyone know if it's eatable? Can't find it listed anywhere.

 

[Odin's Gma]

It's latin name is viburnum. The tort table doesn't have enough info to speak to the leaves and flowers but the berries are toxic so they recommend you avoid it.

 

[Mrs.D]

Bummer. Why is it that all the stuff that grows so well in my yard is uneatable for the boys?

 

[Odin's Gma]

It's not just you. I have a giant maple which is a no-no, and sumac growing wild everywhere, which although not toxic, is less than ideal.
