Description
A larger growing species, the Nannyberry Viburnum can be grown as a large shrub from 10 to 18 feet tall or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small to medium sized single or multi stemmed tree that might reach up to 25 feet in height. Its stems are clothed in ovate, finely toothed, lustrous dark green leaves with a lighter underside, which turn reddish-purple-marron in the fall. Abundant, dome-shaped flat-top clusters of showy white flowers appear in late spring which are followed by blue-black berries the birds and other wildlife will thank you for. What’s more, the fruits are edible and can be picked and eaten right off the bush when ripe!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 15 to 18 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide at maturity, the Nannyberry Viburnum can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree ideal for use as an eye-catching specimen or groupings in landscape and flowering shrub borders. As a tree, it might reach upwards of 25 feet in height. Also useful to frame corners of homes and entryways or as espalier (trained to grow flat against a wall) in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to edible gardens, white theme gardens, wildlife gardens, and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 8 feet apart for solid hedge; 18 feet or more apart for space between plants.Â
Growing Preferences
Viburnum is very easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. It prefers a loamy soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants it does not like constantly soggy or wet conditions. Quite drought tolerant when established and we’ve seen no serious pest or disease problems. Deer haven’t touched it in our gardens. For best flowering, at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day is suggested. Responds very well to pruning for shaping, size control and tree forming. Prune as needed immediately after flowering.
