Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) Identification Guide
Traditional / reference
Abstract
Foraging guide warning that when harvesting guelder rose berries one must ensure they come from the shrub itself rather than any vines with red berries, such as woody nightshade (Solanum dulcamara), which is highly toxic; guelder rose is a shrub with maple-like lobed leaves and bright translucent red berries in flat clusters. Anchors the guelder-rose/woody-nightshade red-berry confusion.
