Editor's Note

Some resources list Viburnum berries as poisonous if ingested. Humans who ingest large amounts of the raw berries may experience mild symptoms of stomach upset.

We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn people to look further for more information before eating.

I have admired this diminutive evergreen viburnum from afar for many years (I live in KY, and admired the plant in Germany). I have recently been able to observe this plant in the US during a winter trip to Seattle.

It is still a fine little shrub, but I have gained even more admiration for its durability. I had thought it to be one of those "hot house rose" type plants that needed a lot of TLC. Absolutely not.

This viburnum is quite the utility plant around the city of Seattle, occupying ignominious positions in parking lot islands and the like. I have much more appreciation for its toughness - see pictures posted to this entry.

Someday, I'll procure this plant for my central KY property, and I'll see what it can do in Ohio River valley heat and humidity in clay loam soils. Until then, I'd advocate it highly for those with zone 7-9 soils and decent rainfall.
