Re: A New Raised Bed
Hello Bobbi,
Viburnum dentatum 'Chicago Luster'. Arrowwood viburnum. Been around forever,
but this particular selection has nice shiny green serrated leaves. Fall color in
the foliage is a bright red, fruit color is blue-black. Blooms May-June in white,
hardy Z 2 - 8. Favorite bird food. Noted for durability and utility in mass
plantings. Average height and spread is a bout 6 to 8 feet.... can reach 15 feet.
Now you have done it... mention of weather.... forecast says rain, falling
temps tonight and tomorrow. We age getting desperate for rain here again. I also
need to be driven inside before I hurt myself....
