wayfaring tree

Water wayfaring trees deeply (1-2 gallons per 1 inch of caliper) every week during dry conditions. During hot and very dry conditions water twice a week. Reduce watering frequency if there is very heavy rainfall. Make sure the soil does not become soggy or wet--this can damage the roots of the plant. Monitor the soil for moisture levels. Stick your finger in the soil up to the first knuckle--if it feels dry and you can't feel any moisture, it's time to water. If you are unsure if your wayfaring tree should be watered, it is generally better to err on the side of caution.

Wayfaring tree (Viburnum lantana) should be grown in a location with full sun exposure for 6 to 8 hours per day. When planting, it is important to choose a protected site that has some shelter from wind, but it should still receive plenty of direct sunlight. This plant prefers acidic soil, so it is best to plant it in a site that gets a lot of direct sunlight throughout the day. Avoid locations that are shaded for the majority of the day, as this plant will not thrive in such conditions.

For Wayfaring Tree, or Viburnum lantana, pruning should be done lightly every spring once the flowering season is over. This will help keep the bush in a more attractive shape and remove any dead or damaged branches or stems. It is best to prune the shrub before new growth appears, so late winter is the ideal time to start. Begin by removing any suckers that have grown from the rootstock. This will help maintain the desired shape of the shrub. Additionally, cut out any interior branches that are crowded or rubbing against each other. Finally, lightly shear the sides of the plant to create an even and attractive shape. Keep in mind that excessive pruning can cause the plant to become susceptible to disease and may reduce flowering the following season.
