Red fruits are always attractive. They look delicious and can catch everyone's eyes in a forest. Sargent viburnum is just such a plant that produces sparkling red fruits.

The plant is native to north eastern Asia. They like moist air, but can also grow well in dry climate. They can grow in slightly acidic and neutral soil. As an excellent ornamental tree in gardens, it can easily survive after transplantation. The plant flowers from June to July and produces globose fruits from August to September.

Here are some photos of the pretty red fruits of sargent viburnum, taken at Beijing Olympic Park.
