Re: viburnum bulletin

Several reasons.  It's native and requires little supplemental watering, it
has the nicest natural shape and the very best fall color - deep burgandy
leaves - of anything in the yard.   Gives good shade too once it leafs
out.   Very fond of this little tree.  When I first met Jesse face to face I
was clearing out that very bed (Dec 99) and finally - it will flower (and
berry).  I am pleased.
