. . . and here's a pic of 'Blue Muffin' across the yard, taken last year. It's about 4 years old now and gets flowers but no berries (maybe a couple). I never understood why until I read VV's and KMan Blue's explanation (see thread in this forum called "Viburnum (Which One Is Best Here)??") Viburnums are self sterile and since Blue Muffin is vegetatively propagated, it has the same genetic material as any other Blue Muffin. Hmmm!!! I find this a really interesting subject, but just wanting blue berries, I went out and got these two other Dentatums. Hopefully, the bloom times will align.

Whew! Who knew, uh . . . "breeding" . . . could be so hard? We sure have no problems with it! ; )
