| Anyone growing these? I hear soooo much about the colorful berries on these viburnums, especially Bulk/Brandywine, but have yet to find a reference on what the shrub itself looks like. All the photos I've seen seem to feature berry photos. So I am hoping they make pretty shrubs too. I have a young Viburnum nudum 'Winterthur' and am looking for pollinator companions and want to choose one or the other (Bulk or Earthshade).
I'd love to have some feedback on which makes the prettier/shaplier shrub and which has the best fall color? |

| Take your pic. I have found no difference among them really, and even the seedlings flower and fruit heavily with great fall color. |

| I grow Viburnum nudum "bulk'. The fall foliage is outstanding being a deep shiny maroon. The fruit is also attractive but quickly eaten by the birds. The shrub is just green background until the fall but well worth growing especially if you are interested in wildlife. |

| One year Earthshade colored magnificently. The other gets t kind of pinkish orange, but it has berries that start out turning salmon and finally dark blue. I don't think Earthshade has such colorful berries. You may have both since one kind will bear less berries than when two sorts are in proximity. That is why I bought 'Earthshade'. |

| Woodlanders site offers a specific pollinator. |
