watering

Judd viburnum (Viburnum juddii) should be watered thoroughly during the spring and summer growing seasons. During these times, water once every 7-10 days, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In the late summer and autumn reduce the frequency of watering to once a month, making sure the soil does not dry out completely. During the winter, the plant should be watered infrequently, only when the soil is dry to the touch, likely once every 1-2 months.

sunlight

Judd viburnum (Viburnum juddii) is best grown in an area with full sun or partial shade. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If planted in an area where it receives too much shade, it will not flower as profusely. For optimal growth, the plant should be given direct sunlight during the morning and afternoon hours. It's important to keep in mind that too much sun can cause the leaves of this species to burn, so be sure to provide the viburnum with some afternoon shade if you live in a particularly hot or sunny area.

pruning

Judd viburnum (Viburnum juddii) is best pruned in the early spring, before new growth has begun. For this species, prune only enough to remove diseased, damaged or dead growth, and to reduce the size of the plant. If needed, additional pruning can be done in late summer or fall, up to 1 month before the first frost. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can cause a decrease in flower production. Remove no more than 1-third of the shoots during a single pruning session.
