Positive Decumbent On Nov 3, 2006, Decumbent from Cincinnati, OH (Zone 6b) wrote:

This is an open, informal shrub that produces an enormously showy berry display in the fall, even in deep shade.

Neutral Copperbaron On Jan 28, 2002, Copperbaron from Vicksburg, MS (Zone 8a) wrote:

The tea viburnum is a medium size, multistemmed, deciduous shrub with slightly drooping branches that reaches a height of 8'-12' with a spread of 5'-8', whose leaves were once used for making tea. Flat topped clusters of showy white flowers 1"-2" in diameter cover the plant in late May. The fruit mature to a reddish-orange to orange color in profusion in late October making this the showiest of the fruiting viburnum. Fall color is an unreliable red.

The tea viburnum prefers well drained, mildly acidic soil in full sun to partial shade and flowers on new wood. It is useful in the shrub border, as a screen, in mass plantings, and is valuable for its flowers and fruit.
