The common name "guelder rose" relates to the Dutch province of Gelderland. Other common names include water elder, cramp bark, snowball tree, common snowball, and European cranberrybush.It is grown as an ornamental shrub for its flowers and berries. It is also cultivated as a component of hedgerows, cover plantings, etc.It is naturalised in North America. The fruit is edible only in small quantities, with a very bitter taste; it is sometimes used to make jelly. It is however mildly toxic, and may cause vomiting or diarrhea if eaten in large amounts.The bark has been used in traditional medicine as a remedy for cramps and other conditions. Viburnum is significant Ukrainian folklore where it is known as " kalyna ," with symbolic roots on Slavic paganism of millennia ago.In ancient Slavic mythology it was associated with the birth of the Universe, the so-called Fire Trinity: the Sun, the Moon, and the Star. Its berries symbolize one's home and native land, blood, and family roots as well as representing a maiden’s beauty. As such it was often depicted in Ukrainian folklore such as songs, decorative art, poetry, and the embroidery of ritual cloths and shirts.It is also one of the national symbols of Russia.Songs about it are considered a traditional part of Russian weddings.
