Comments:
This is an excellent viburnum for the woodland garden. It is normally multiple-stemmed and produces white flowers followed by orange-red berries that eventually turn black. The berries attract several species of birds and other wildlife. Viburnums are relatively easy to grow and tolerate a wide range of growing conditions from full sunlight to considerable shade. They do not normally have major insect and disease pests. It is reported that fruiting is best if several plants are grown in the same vicinity to insure cross pollination and thus more berries.
