Viburnum lantana, the wayfarer or wayfaring tree, is a species of Viburnum, native to central, southern and western Europe (north to Yorkshire in England), northwest Africa, and southwestern Asia.
[2][3][4] The vigorous deciduous European treelike shrub is common along waysides.
The fruit is an oblong drupe 8 mm (0.31 in) long, green at first, turning red, then finally black at full maturity, and contains a single seed.
[5] It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant for its flowers and berries, growing best on alkaline soils.
[4] The fruit is of low to zero toxicity, but may cause vomiting or diarrhea if consumed unripe or in large quantities.
