I'd like to add one or more specimens of Viburnum rufidulum
(southern blackhaw) to our landscape. Can't find it locally.
Can anyone recommend a source?

Rusty Blackhaw Viburnum is one heck of a tall shrub/small tree and is
difficult to find. If you do find some, buy several!

If you find a source for it anywhere, please do let me know. I have been
looking for a mother plant for years. I would like to propagate it because I
can sell hundreds of gallon plants every year if I can perfect propagation.
It's not an easy one to do, but I'm willing to tinker around to get it going.

thanks,
Victoria

Actually these are fairly commonly available in my experience, especially
from the mid-Atlantic region growers.

Oops, sorry! Locally is Carteret County, NC, on the coast
about 4 hours SE of Raleigh; about 2 hours NE of Wilmington.

The only source I've founds so far is this one:

http://www.mailordernatives.com/

which apparently ships bare-root plants during the winter.
Whether you could get one large enough to suit your needs, I
don't know.

Good luck!

Thx for the reply. However, "nannyberry" to me is V. lentago,
a more northern species. An attractive one to be sure (from
the pictures I've seen), but not well suited to our area
because of excessive heat and humidity here and the plant's
susceptibility to mildew.

Thanks. Can you recommend a grower that sells at retail by
mail order?

Thanks Mike. I will see if I can buy some bare root next winter and get my own
stock plants going. I would love to get this out into the trade. It is
especially lovely for us in this part of Texas because it is native and adapted
to a large array of our soils in this region of TX.

V - If you email me (so I have your address), I'll let you
know if I find other sources for this.

Judging from pictures & what's written about this species,
it's a great plant. With our dogwoods along the coast having
succumbed to anthracnose, drought, and borers, a good small
flowering tree is needed. I'm also going to try Vitex
agnus-castus, which I've seen growing and flowering around
here in part shade (though the books say SUN: I get more
skeptical all the time).

I have a huge Vitex agnus-castus 'Carolina Blue.' It is about 12 feet tall now
and oh, 20 feet wide. It is about 5 years old and started with a four inch pot
of it Now I have them germinating all over the place. I dig them out in the
fall and like today at the garden club, have them to swap. It's a beautiful
plant.

I will shoot you an email.
