Walter's viburnum are blooming now

Our native shrub or small tree Walter's viburnum, Viburnum obovatum, is blooming now. This viburnum has small leaves which makes it easy to topiary or prune into a formal hedge or shapes. Walter's viburnum can grow from 8-25 feet tall and 6-10 feet wide. The small flowers are a great nectar source for butterflies and the berries that are produced will attract birds. In the spring, this shrub can be covered in flowers for two to three weeks. Here is a link to our bulletin on Walter's Viburnum in case you want more information.
