Viburnum opulus is a robust, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub that can reach heights of up to 5 meters. Its leaves are dark green, lobed, and resemble those of a maple tree, turning red as autumn approaches. In late spring and early summer, it produces flat clusters of lacecap flowers, featuring smaller tubular white fertile blooms surrounded by larger, sterile white flowers. These are followed by bright red, translucent fruits that can remain on the plant well into winter.

Viburnum comprises both deciduous and evergreen shrubs characterized by their opposite, simple or palmately lobed foliage. These plants produce clusters of small flowers, which may be white or pink and often emit a pleasant fragrance. After flowering, they yield berries in shades of red, blue, or black.
