Arrowwood Viburnum 

 Arrowwood Viburnum, also known as the Southern arrowwood or European cranberry bush, is a small, shrubby garden plant with few flowers but plentiful foliage. The glossy, abundant leaves turn reddish in autumn. When properly planted, this deciduous tree requires little care because it flourishes in barren soil and full sun.

 Thrives in sunny areas when planted in an area with at least six to eight hours of sun daily or where it will receive adequate light from a nearby structure such as a deck, porch, or house. It grows well in several soil types but requires the same conditions to thrive: full sun and well-drained soil.

Arrowwood Viburnum Is Disease and Pest Resistant

This shrub is known to have hardly any pests or disease problems and is easy to care for, making it an ideal plant for beginner gardeners. The viburnum is a good choice for the home garden because it requires little care when properly planted yet provides deep shade and vibrant foliage.

 It is a deciduous shrub that grows in several soil types. Although it requires some filtered sun, it can be pruned to provide full shade. If properly watered and fertilized, the arrowwood viburnum will grow up to 12 feet in height. Although this plant is not fussy about soil conditions, it prefers a well-draining loam or sandy loam.

 Branches grow arrow-shaped

The Arrowwood viburnum shrub is a good choice for areas where the viburnum will receive adequate light from a nearby structure, such as a porch or house. The arrowwood viburnum gets its name from its shapely branches that form an "arrow." This plant has fruit that can be used to feed birds and wildlife. Pruning is unnecessary, but if the shrub seems overgrown, it can be cut back to five feet. The tree will regenerate without any issues.

Water Arrowwood Viburnum regularly during its first growing season to establish a robust root system. Trim after blooming to keep shape and clear dead or damaged branches. Ensure it has well-drained soil, and fertilize annually in early spring.

Plant Reproduction icon

Plant Reproduction

Green Arrowwood Viburnum spreads via suckers, forming dense thickets.

Plant bare-root shrubs during the more excellent spring or fall months, from November through April. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and slightly more profound than its height. Position the shrub so that the top of the roots is level with the ground, and put back the soil dug over the roots. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, ensuring the mulch does not touch the shrub's stem. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to establish strong roots. Prune shrubs as needed to promote healthy growth. In the spring, fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer suited to the specific needs of the shrub.

Pleasantly Surprised

I understood the plants arriving were dormant plants. I was a little concerned when I opened the box. The packaging was done right and nothing was damaged. Planted them right away and 1 month later all plants have foliage. If i have another large order of plants I'll definetly use TN Nursery.
