Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Why this?, 1 by Decumbent

This is a Viburnum dilatatum at Dawes. Note how only one portion of the plant is loaded with fruit. What would cause this? Could it be the shrub reverted around a cultivar? A sport? I'm not super familiar with dilatatums. Do the cultivars tend to fruit exceptionally greater than the species?

In looking more closely at this photo, I can see it isn't very good. The branches on the lower right of the shrub were easily twice as laden with fruit as the branches on the top (which look more heavily berried in the photo than they really were).
