‘Chenault’ is a burkwood viburnum cultivar. It is a rounded shrub with shiny dark green leaves that are smaller and more finely textured than the species plants, giving the plant an air of refinement. Fragrant, 2-3 inch flowers are very light pink, almost white, blooming from May through June; red berries maturing to black berries are sparsely produced in late summer. The plant can reach 8 to 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide.

Viburnums are a versatile genus of multi-stemmed shrubs that are well suited to the home landscape due to their range of sizes and cultural adaptability. Some viburnums are noted for their fragrant flowers, and most bear small fruit that may add visual interest. Many viburnums have attractive fall color. There are more than 100 different varieties of viburnum at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
