I planted a RBH Viburnum in my back flowerbed 2 years ago, and it is growing nicely. As you can see, it is bursting with buds right now. It's my understanding that it will grow to a medium-sized tree, so I would hesitate to plant one too close to the house. I don't know of any problems with RBH Viburnums. They do produce berries, and to enhance the berry production they have to be cross-pollinated with another RBH Viburnum that it is not related to (which is very hard to find in the north Texas area, as all the nurseries buy from the same wholesaler). I would highly recommend this tree, but would not recommend planting one too near the house.
