Right on all counts! Thank you. Looking around here right now, I am dazzled by the fruit set on the dozens of shrubs this year (we had lots of rain). Wow! Hi, Kevin. Right on all counts! Thank you.

Beautiful flowers, great fruit set that colors up nicely in the fall, [ some are eaten earlier by hungry birds others have to go through several freeezes and thaws to make them more easier to eat for winter resident fowl or early spring arrivals from down south. Their winter beauty is really awsome on the day after the first snowfall;bright colorful berries coated in white! For the longest bloom show nothing beats V.plic.'Summer Snowflake' the white flowers appear begining in May and contiue until fall but not as abundant as the spring show. Remember most Viburnums produce a better fruit set when another shrub of the same species is planted near by for pollination and the fruit is more abundant and colorful in at least a half-day sun location and may also produce some color in thier foliage in that kind of light as well.
