Viburnum opulus


European Cranberrybush Viburnum




            Mike's Opinion

"

A common landscape shrub that is seen in many old gardens. I have used it extensively in the back of borders where, when in flower and fruit it can be quite stunning. It is currently, however adversly affected by the Viburnum Leaf Beetle and we are starting a program of removal and replacement.
