watering
Water arrowwood viburnum with 1 to 2 inches of water per week throughout the growing season. During hot and dry weather, you should water more frequently to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water in the early morning to allow the foliage to dry out; this will help to decrease potential diseases. Additionally, give your plant an extra deep watering once or twice a month to supply deeper water penetration in the soil. In periods of extended drought, provide additional water as needed.
sunlight
Arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) is a hardy plant species that thrives in a full sun environment, preferably receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, the plant can tolerate partial shade, usually in the form of morning light and/or dapple shade throughout the day. To ensure that these plants grow to their full potential, it is best to place them in an area that receives direct sunlight for most of the daylight hours.
pruning
Arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) should be pruned in late fall or early spring. It should be pruned lightly, removing up to 1/3 of the stems, to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking neat. When pruning, avoid removing too much at once as this can damage the plant. Cut back the branches by 1/3 to promote better airflow and open up the canopy to allow more sunlight in. Prune out any dead or diseased branches, as well as any branches growing inwards or growing too close together. In late winter or early spring, cut back any stems that have become unruly or that are taking up too much space.
