Re: Viburnum

Andrea, quite common for tract landscrapers around here to use V. odoratissimum and V. o. awabuki as foundation plants, unfortunately. I think the reason they do is that these Vibs are fast growers and keep the landscape from looking skimpy while the development is still on the market.

I'll have to look at those, but you guys are WAY more knowledgeable about
the cultivars of Viburnum than I am clearly. I know V. odotisurum, only
because the idiots who built my house used it as foundation shrubs, HELLO?
Needless to say, I moved them and now they make a great 15 foot high
privacy screen. The other I'm most familiar with is V. tinus. So, I'm
learning a lot from this discussion.

Andrea,

I put a picture of  Viburnum plicatum 'Watanabe' in my shrub folder.

There

is also another culitivar called 'Summer Snowflake' that has been in

garden

centers for a few years.
