    VIBURNUM BETULIFOLIUM

    I originally collected this plant in China 20 years ago on an expedition with the National Botanic Gardens of Ireland. I’ll never forget the messy job of cleaning the berries and preparing them for sowing. This viburnum has spectacular, yellow, autumn colour but it is the berries that I grow it for. It is one of the best shrubs at Hunting Brook for producing large bunches of berries that last well into spring. They are best planted in groups to encourage more f lowering and fruiting. I have raised the canopy on them to create a multi-stemmed effect with a weeping habit.

    Height 3m.

    Origin China, Tibet, Taiwan.
