Re: Viburnums experiences please.

I grow or grew the following viburnums (and a few others I have yet to
cataloge).
I have placed asterisks by the ones I particularly like.  Also some
comments/experiences.

*  Viburnum acerifolium - excellent pink/purple fall color
*  Viburnum alnifolium - excellent native with big leaves and early flowers
    Viburnum betulifolium - did not prosper, then died
    Viburnum burkwoodii - drought tolerant and fragrant
    Viburnum carlesi - fragrant
*  Viburnum cassinoides - native here, excellent form and fall color
    Viburnum dentatum - native here
    Viburnum dilitatum 'Eire'- good foliage
*  Viburnum dilitatum Michael Dodge - good foliage, should have yellow
berries but none yet
    Viburnum dilitatum 'Aisian Beauty' - too new to comment but descriptions
sound great
 * Viburnum X juddii - good foliage and berries
    Viburnum lantana
    Viburnum lentago
    Viburnum nudum - to polinate Winterthur
*  Viburnum nudum "Winterthur" - beautiful foliage and fall color
*  Viburnum opulus Nanum - excellent form and foliage
*  Viburnum opulus 'Roseum' - great flowers
    Viburnum opulus 'Xanthocarpum' -yellowish berries of course, mine still
small but gets big
*  Viburnum plicatum 'Pink Beauty' - very nice but not really pink
*  Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum  'Mariesii' - excellant foliage,
flowers and fruit, all plicatum need moisture
*  Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum  'Shasta' - excellant foliage, flowers
and fruit
    Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum  'Summer Snowflake' - long bloomer,
nice form
    Viburnum rudifulum 'Royal Guard' - very slow to establish for me
*  Viburnum sargentii 'Onondaga' - Interesting 2-tones flowers and good
fruit
*  Viburnum sieboldii - big, excellant foliage and fruit, grows fast!
    Viburnum trilobum Wentworth - not great winter form but otherwise good,
berries last
    Viburnum wrightii - nice foliage and berries
    Viburnum  "Cayuga" - seems nice and compact, good foliage and flowers

I like them all, except betulifolium which died and dentatum which is weedy
here, and the one that grow around.
The groups I like best are plicatum and dilitatum.

Hope this helps
