In case you did not know V. tinus flowers in the winter. So you would expect the flowers to be open from now till February. If you already knew this, then my appologies for stating the obvious. Second point is that the flowers of V. tinus are quite small individually, but come in clusters of around 20. Heres a picture of V. tinus 'Eve' -- http://www.mygarden.me.uk/Viburnum%2...ve%20Price.jpg How much culutivation and feeding do you give them? Something to be aware of is that some plants need to feel a bit stressed in order to flower and fruit. So if you are pampering them with feeds and dressing the soil regularly then they may feel very happy thankyou and decide that they so not need to reproduce at this time. I have always found them to be troublefree shrubs myself. I may occaisionally shape them in spring if they are gettting a bit unruly, but apart from that they've rarely had any attention. |
