a small tree or large shrub(= bush) that is deciduous(= it loses its leaves in winter) and has small white flowers in groups and red fruit.

As its name suggests, the wayfaring tree or wayfarer is a sign, if you aren't already aware, that you are on or near a path.
A suitable tree for this position would be our fragrant, white-flowered native, Viburnum lantana, the wayfaring tree.
Viburnum lantana (wayfaring tree or wayfarer) is a species of Viburnum, native to central, southern, and western Europe.
