Growing Tips
Fruit production is increased by having another cultivar of Arrowwood near by to cross pollinate the flowers. Local native stands of Arrowwood will also act as a cross pollinator. Prefers well drained soil but adapts well to a variety of soils. Withstands high pH, heavy soils and vagaries of climate. Possibly one of the most durable Viburnums for the East and Midwest. Pruning is best done immediately after flowering, buds form the summer prior to blooming. Medium moisture. Deciduous shrub. Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs. Follow the label for the recommended rate of application.
