LL and I made our first acquaintance over a Viburnum dilatatum ID, and she enjoyed the naming opportunity.

Wild raisin:

'Asian Beauty' blooms in the middle of the Viburnum dilatatum pack, so just about any of them will make a great mate. Pick a size, form, or fruit color, and make haste!

•'Catskill' is a compact early blooming form with red fruit
•'Erie' is large and round, heavy arrays of flowers/fruit, red turning coral with cold
•'Iroquois' is large and broad rounded, with dark red fruit
•'Cardinal Candy' will be a large shrub with bright red fruit (I don't have a large plant yet)
•'Michael Dodge' is large, round, blooms latest, and has yellow fruit turning golden orange with cold

David:

I think that's: "Hey, y'all, watch this!"

Imagine video clip worthy of worldwide broadcast of some inane activity approaching self-mutilation; high-speed full-body impacts; or consumption of indescribable substances.

How we might say it then pales in comparison.

'Asian Beauty' has pretty much cherry red fruit from maturation; it does darken with the onset of repeated freezes, but persists till spring leaf out when mockingbirds and cardinals finish the strip.

I'll find my Viburnum dilatatum "nose-print" ratings post, and hyperlink it in this thread.

Here's 'Michael Dodge' from this morning.
