It grows quickly, reaching a height of up to 4 m and a diameter of 3 m.

The peak of plant development occurs in the 8th year after planting.

The leaves are 3-5 lobed, rich green, red-orange in autumn. It blooms for a month in mid-May and early June.

Where is the best place to plant viburnum

Viburnum is a sunny crop. It should only be planted in an area that is well lit throughout the day.

Planting can be done both in spring and autumn, especially if you bought seedlings with a closed root system.

It prefers neutral soils, but will grow normally in slightly acidic soils (pH 6.5 - 7).

How to grow viburnum correctly

Viburnum loves moisture very much, so it is better not to leave the plant for a long time without water.

The tree needs to be watered once a week.

A fruiting bush requires three to four buckets of water.

In order for the plant to lead normal life activities, the soil in which it grows must be wet to a depth of at least 30 cm.

Is it possible to plant viburnum in the shade

The plant is not picky, so it can grow well in the shade and even in the wind.

It is also necessary to prevent the culture from growing to its full potential.

To do this, viburnum needs to be pruned in autumn or spring (and sometimes in autumn and spring).

You can give it a shape, or you can simply shorten the branches and cut out the extra ones.
