Viburnum dilatatum 'Erie'
Linden Viburnum, also known as 'Erie', is an attractive shrub with year-round interest. It typically grows 5-6 feet tall and wide with a graceful, upright form. In early spring, clusters of white flowers emerge, followed by beautiful red fruits in fall and persistent red foliage in winter. This species is native to south-eastern Canada and the northern United States, and thrives in moist soils and part shady locations. Linden Viburnum is an excellent shrub for creating an informal hedge, providing a lush look in the garden. Easy to care for, this species can be pruned in early spring to control size and shape.

watering
Linden Viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum 'Erie') should be watered thoroughly every 7 to 10 days during the growing season, in spring and summer. When watering, make sure that the soil is saturated with moisture and that no puddles form on the surface. This viburnum should have approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week. Water deeply once or twice a week to ensure that the moisture reaches the roots. During very hot and dry weather, additional watering may be needed. Do not over-water as this can lead to root rot and disease.
sunlight
Linden viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum 'Erie') plants need full sunlight for optimal growth and flowering. They thrive in areas that get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day and benefit from being planted in an area that gets direct sun for most of the day. When grown in partial shade, they may not bloom as profusely or may be more prone to problems with fungal diseases.
pruning
Linden viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum 'Erie') should be pruned after it finishes flowering, usually in late spring or early summer. Pruning should be minimal, focusing mainly on removing dead wood and crossing branches. The viburnum will tolerate more severe pruning, but this should only be done if necessary, as it will reduce flowering for the next year.
