It is native to eastern Canada, and the central and eastern United States. A shrub or small shrubby tree, they are typically found in wetter habitats such as stream banks, bottomlands, swamps, and mesic woodlands. It is closely related to, and may be a subtaxon of, Viburnum dentatum, the southern arrowwood or roughish arrowwood.
The plant is considered by NatureServe to be critically imperiled in Missouri and Arkansas and imperiled in the Canadian province of Quebec, with an overall status of "apparently secure".
