Viburnum davidii

David viburnum is a dependable low, compact, shrub with gorgeous leaves and attractive flowers and fruit for almost year-round interest.  It tends to be evergreen but can be deciduous near the northern edge of its growing zones.  Plant several male and female plants to get good cross-pollination and you will have a great winter fruit display that will be relished by songbirds. Makes an effective hedge or natural screen, can be planted in borders or along foundations.  

It prefers sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Plant to protect from summer leaf scorch by giving it some afternoon shade in hot areas. The plant does tolerate pruning, but keep in mind that next season's blossoms will appear on old growth.

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems:  No serious insect or disease problems.  Can suffer leaf scorch in hot summer locations.
