Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Came to us from JC Raulston many years ago. The plant is upright growing (10'-12') and 4'-5' wide. This hardy evergreen plant has shiny foliage. Doesn't need summer water here once established.

This handsome evergreen Viburnum defies logic with its extreme hardiness. Upright habit to 15 to 20 ft. tall and 6 to 8 ft wide, we use it for its glossy green foliage -- as a standard for street trees or as a shrub or screen plant. Tough and easy in sun to partial shade with normal summer water and well-drained soil. Cold hardy in USDA zone 7.
