| From what I've found there technically isn't a Viburnum resistant to the borer but there are certain species that show some degree of resistance.
My goal is to diversify with various species but I like to go heavier with the species that show a degree of resistance. I can't seem to find much research on those that are resistant. It appears V. dentatum may be one of the resistant species. I know the borer is an issue in my area as the availability of Viburnums for sale has declined but that won't stop me from adding a few! |

| I can't say I've had too many issues with the leaf beetle. I always feel like that is visible damage so you can correct it quite readily if necessary. Its those dang borers that are more inconspicous. Good info non the less for diversifing your Viburnums. |
