Additional Information

'Oneida' is a hybrid most similar to its Viburnum dilatatum (Linden Viburnum) parent. This plant is known for profuse flower show in May, followed by continued, albeit sporadic, blooming through summer, and abundant fruits that persist into winter. Wide spreading branches. One of the best viburnums for showy fruits. A different clone as a pollinator helps produce a more abundant fruit set. Borers can sometimes be a problem. Relatively trouble-free.
