Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bright! red (turning black) berries create quite a show in fall after spring?s pyramidal clusters of fragrant white flowers on this open upright 6-9' shrub with its narrow glossy (Ilex fargesii-like) leaves. S/M
A particularly graceful shrub, larger in leaf and stature than the V. henryi that we have been growing for years, this with narrow and shiny leaves, to 5" or more, emerging with reddish coloration, maturing towards orange, and taking on a lovely sunset orange hue in frosty weather. White, late spring flowers look lovely against the evergreen foliage. This clone, shared with us by Scott McMahon several years ago, likes typical viburnum conditions -- shade to mostly sun with summer water in summer dry climates. Frost hardy to 0 °F, USDA zone 7.
Blooms: summer, white flowers, dark green, evergreen foliage with red new growth, red fruit turning black in fall. Horizontal branch structure. Zone 7-8. 9', China, part shade-sun, moist, humus rich
A rare and very handsome hardy evergreen Viburnum from China. This is an open growing big shrub that can in a bunch of years become more arborescent or tree-like on a small scale. White flowers in spring followed by red turning black berries held on red pedicels. Nice all year.
