Neutral ViburnumValley On Apr 15, 2007, ViburnumValley from Scott County, KY (Zone 5b) wrote:

I believe this plant will grow pretty much everywhere. Ubiquitously known as the leatherleaf viburnum, it adorns the corner of new and old homes; makes inappropriate hedges around commercial parking lots (in the mistaken belief that it is a 4' tall shrub -- more like 14' tall); and can screen tall eyesores in a single bound.

This is actually a very nice plant. It is just used incorrectly far too often because people don't understand its ability to just GROW with abandon. Allow for a 20' x 20' plant that blooms white in the spring, sets wonderful red clusters of fruit, blooms again near autumn, and then you'll get the idea.

Positive Todd_Boland On Jan 26, 2005, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This hybrid is a cross between the evergreen leatherleaf viburnum, V. rhytidophyllum and the wayfaring tree, V. lantana 'Mohican'. The hybrid is evergreen in warmer areas but semi-evergreen at the northern end of its hardiness range. The leaves are very rough and veiny. The cream flowers develop into fruit that change from red to black.
