Viburnum

TSU Extension Agent Joellen Dimond talks about viburnum. There is allot of variety within viburnum. Some viburnum are shrubs, but others can grow as large as a tree. Depending on the type, they are deciduous, evergreen, or semi-evergreen. There are several things all viburnum do: they bloom in the spring with white or pink flowers, they also have red fruit that turns to purple if it stays on the plant. The berries are good food for birds. Viburnum likes full sun but will grow in a fairly shady location with a reduction in blooming. They are very tolerant of wet soils, but they do not like wet feet.
Joellen talks about several varieties of viburnum that she likes including David Viburnum (Viburnum davidii), which is a smaller plant; Korean spice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii) with fragrant flowers; Doublefile Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum tomentosum) which produces many berries; and leather leaf viburnum (Viburnum rhytidophyllum) which has thick leaves.
