Re: Viburnums/aronia


Most interesting, Chris.  V. x carlcephalum is one of my favorites - fills
my garden with intoxicating scent each spring, but I've never seen a berry
on it in the 18 years or so I've had it???  Of course, it is in quite a bit
of shade...wonder if that makes a difference?  I know it's *supposed* to
have them..
