I'm addicted to viburnums :)
Join the club buddy! Although not particularly fragrant, one of my favorites
is a smallish, evergreen Viburnum, Viburnum 'Conoy'. http://www.nobleplants.com/introduct...urnumConoy.htm Michale Dirr says, "To my way of gardening, Viburnum 'Conoy' is one of Dr. Don Egolf's greatest viburnums. Evergreen in Zone 7, less so in Zone 6, it is awash in pink buds that open to white flowers in April. The 1 1/2- to 2 1/2-inch- long leaves are glossy dark green. Plant is compact, 5 feet by 8 feet, and requires almost no pruning. A plant in the Dirr garden is about 5 feet by 7 feet after 10 years. In flower, it is a mound of pink and white. Great shrub for the mixed border and groupings. Fruits are red, ripening black, produced in quantity only if a closely related cultivar is in proximity." Also see http://www.nobleplants.com/articles/viburnum.htm Dave "Dan" wrote in message ... Hello, Went to the local nursery today, saw my first flowering viburnium bushes ever. I believe the names were buckthorn and I forget the other name (galax or something...galena?) . The flower scent was amazing, just as good if not better than a lilac. The problem is the local nursery does not supply highbush cranberry varieties. This ticked me off a bit, being in NJ and all, where in some parts of the state lowbush cranberries are a multi-million dollar industry. Does anyone know any areas in northern NJ that would stock highbush cranberries or northern bayberries? Thanks, Dan |

I'm addicted to viburnums :)
What are there? Over 100 Viburnum species? Absoultely amazing.
Has anyone mentioned the little shasta? a sweet compact viburnum when compared to the leatherleaf for example...I, too, love them all. and don't we love the opinionated Michael Dirr? I go to bed with him nearly every night... book form of course. Regards, Tracy Zone 7. "David J. Bockman" wrote in message ... Join the club buddy!
