I am looking for a Viburnum in the front of my home - front and center in my garden. It will have part shade/part sun. Well be well watered.

My ideal specs in order of preference

Size (H/W) – somewhere in the range of 4/4 to 7/7 I can prune if needed to keep smaller

Flowers - White, impressive/showy and nice if long bloom period.

Fall Color - Showy as possible - bright reds/yellows or oranges as opposed to dark.

Fruit - No preference. Any color is nice, but don't care if I get much fruiting.

There is a local company which sells a lot of trees and shrubs – I looked through their inventory and came up with some possible selections based on my specs:


Viburnum trilobum 'Hahs' - Hahs American Cranberry Viburnum

Viburnum trilobum 'Compactum' - Dwarf American Cranberry Viburnum

Viburnum trilobum 'Bailey Compact' -Bailey Compact American Cranberry Viburnum

Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum 'Newport' - Newport Doublefile Viburnum

Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum 'Watanabe' - Watanabe Doublefile Viburnum

Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum 'Popcorn' - Popcorn Doublefile Viburnum

Viburnum opulus 'Compacta' - Compact European Cranberrybush Viburnum

Viburnum opulus 'Xanthocarpum' - Compact Yellow-Fruited Eur. Cranberrybush Viburnum


Thanks!
