Hi Diane,

   No, they should be self-pollinating (and are certainly not dioecious).
   However, many viburnum species will produce more fruit if there are
   other pollinators available.  For example, Viburnum x rhytidophylloides
   'Alleghany' is often grown with Viburnum lantana as a pollinator to
   encourage fruit production.  

   They do like moist soils in full sun to part shade.
