| Don't check in often, but Viburnum questions draw me like a moth to a flame... esh has some good advice - supported by Dirr is OK. I'd add to what was said: MUST OVERLAP IN BLOOM TIME. All the choice plants in the world don't help each other with cross-pollination if their blooming doesn't coincide. I have all those species mentioned above; I think annebert may like 'Conoy' best for appearance and compact size, if those are values or concerns. I'd look at 'Chesapeake' and 'Eskimo' as possible pollination partners, as well. These are both choice plants for mid-Atlantic states. As noted above, Viburnum x rhytidophylloides offers 'Alleghany' and 'Willowwood' among others. These are very large coarse plants; give them 15-20' to spread their wings. Viburnum rhytidophyllum is a fine plant, albeit large. I dare say you should never confuse it with Viburnum x pragense. Prague will have quite glossy and much smaller leaves than Viburnum rhytidophyllum, and will have much less of a leathery leaf. The underside of Prague's leaves will also be highly tomentose, to the point of silveriness. annebert: If you live anywhere near the US National Arboretum, it would be well worth your time for a visit and a "one stop shop" review of many species of viburnums. I had the recent fortune of a brief sojourn to Washington DC the first weekend in May, and it was a glorious time to tour around with many species (as well as other mundane taxa) in bloom. Additionally, if you live closer to Philly, go to the Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College campus, or one of the DuPont estates where extensive collections are planted. July will be a great month to observe the extent of fruit set possible, when great pairings make that possible. |
