Viburnum Blooming Schedules and Favorites

groveland, FL(Zone 9b)

ahhh...i read the above and had to add.....(maybe i missed it because i didn't see it mentioned???)...

viburnum dilatattum 'Michael Dodge"-Yellow-Fruited Linden Viburnum.
it's fairly new..(tobee aka "new cultivar freak"). this cultivar has bright yellow berries in huge quantities. it's tall up to appox 12 feet and the berries go well into winter. likes heavy shade or in full sun with an abundant moisture soil. it's leaves of summer are glossy, wrinkled which is a noted feature of the Linden Viburnum. you do have to pollinate with any other V. dilatatum.

i absolutely LOVE the "yellow" brightness and have it along side v. dilatatum 'Henneke' Viburnum nudum "Winterthur' to name a few. also which goes very well with the viburnum are the Callicarpa dichotoma...which we all know has those breathtaking purple berries in oct. i use this var. since it's smaller than most and i want to see the other colors from the vibrunum which are in the backscape. so nice for fall color!
