arrowwood viburnum

Arrowwood viburnum should be watered every 7 to 10 days during the growing season. Generally, it's best to water in the early morning or late afternoon so the water can slowly and evenly be taken up by the plant's roots. Depending on the soil type and local climate, anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of water should be provided, using a soaker hose or regular garden hose to provide a slow trickle of water. In dry climates, it's even more important to water deeply once a week in the evening. While watering, ensure that the entire root system is moistened by slowly moving the hose around the entire plant. During the winter time, the Arrowwood viburnum generally does not need additional watering unless there are periods of extreme drought.

Arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum 'Ralph Senior' AUTUMN JAZZ) is a plant species that prefers full sun for the best leaf coloration and flowering. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and should be planted in a location that receives full sun throughout most of the day. However, some shade in the afternoon may be beneficial during particularly hot days. In general, it will thrive and produce its best foliage when exposed to direct sunlight for most of the day.

Arrowwood Viburnum should be pruned annually to maintain its shape and size. Pruning should take place in late winter or early spring, once the threat of frost has passed. Remove any dead, diseased or damaged branches first, then thin out any crossing or overcrowded branches. If desired, you can shape the plant by pruning any long stems or branches that are growing out of bounds. This variety of Viburnum can also be selectively pruned to form a hedge or left natural for a more wild, natural look.
