Growing Tips
Fruit production is increased by having another cultivar of Arrowwood near by to
cross pollinate the flowers. Local native stands of Arrowwood will also act as a
cross pollinator. Prefers well drained soil but adapts well to a variety of
soils. Withstands high pH, heavy soils and vagaries of climate. Possibly one of
the most durable Viburnums for the East and Midwest. Pruning is best done
immediately after flowering, buds form the summer prior to blooming. Medium
moisture. Deciduous shrub. Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release
fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs. Follow the label for the
recommended rate of application.
Uses
Makes a great hedge or foundation planting, excellent for residential
landscapes. Also good in groupings, masses, and as a filler in the shrub border,
good as a screen and for use in parking lots.
Features
Creamy white flowers appear in summer followed by bright blue berries which
appear in late summer. Attractive to birds and other wildlife. NOTE:
Berries are NOT edible!!
