Frequently Asked Questions

Are Viburnum Bushes Fragrant?

The flowers on the Cayuga Viburnum have a slightly pleasant fragrance!

When Do You Prune Flowering Viburnum Shrubs?

Viburnum shrubs bloom on old wood, so it is very important to only prune them immediately after the flowers fade. Should you wish to enjoy the fruit that forms after the flowers fade, then do not prune, instead remove one-third of the oldest, fattest stems that are no longer as vigorous. Pruning them out at the ground level. This leaves fruit for birds and winter interest and increases overall plant vigor while reducing the size of your shrub.

Do Viburnums Like Full Sun or Shade? What is the Best Location for Viburnum?

Viburnums in general need full sun for the most fruit and flowers, but also do well in partial shade and afternoon shade. Highly adaptable, they enjoy mulched, enriched, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. They need regular moisture while young, but once established will only need supplemental moisture during extreme heat and drought.

Does Cayuga Viburnum Produce Fruit?

The Cayuga Viburnum will produce black berries in the fall but they need another similar Viburnum x carlcephalum or Korean Spice Viburnum planted nearby for cross-pollination.

Does Viburnum Spread? How tall does Cayuga Viburnum get?

Cayuga Viburnum can form suckers at the base of the plant, but these can be removed when pruning after flowering or mowed down if you do not wish it to spread.
