Tip: All viburnums in this guide have simple leaves.
Tip: It's easy to mistake some compound leaves for opposite leaves. That's because the leaflets on the compound leaf are often arranged opposite each other.
The trick is to look for the buds. They are only found at the base of simple or compound leaves where they meet the stem. View this close up picture of buds where a leaf meets the stem.
If you look at the base of a leaflet on a compound leaf, you won't see any buds.
