Viburnum luzonicum

Luzon viburnum (Viburnum luzonicum) is a stunning evergreen shrub. It produces clusters of white blossoms in the late spring, which evolve into mottled black fruit in the fall. This fast-growing shrub has attractive, glossy green foliage that provides year-round interest. It reaches a height of about 9-12 ft. and a spread of 8-10 feet. Luzon viburnum is a versatile planting due to its tolerance of full sun to part shade and its preference for moist, well-drained soil. It requires occasional pruning to encourage flowering and shaping. Luzon viburnum is a graceful addition to any garden.

watering

Viburnum luzonicum is a drought resistant plant that does best with moderate water. Water it deeply once a week during spring and summer when the soil is dry to a depth of 2-3 inches. When weather turns cooler in the fall and winter, reduce watering to once every 2 to 3 weeks. Make sure to avoid over-watering, as this can damage delicate roots.

sunlight

Luzon viburnum (Viburnum luzonicum) is a semi-evergreen shrub that grows best in partial shade. It prefers 6 to 8 hours of bright, indirect light per day. When grown in full sun, it may require more frequent watering and extra protection from the afternoon sun during the hottest times of the year.

pruning

Luzon viburnum should be pruned 1 to 2 times per year in late winter or early spring. This should be done before new growth begins in the spring, and approximately 1/3 of the longest branches should be pruned back to the desired height. This will help to keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth. Pruning luzon viburnum too much can damage the plant, so it's important to exercise caution. In addition, thinning out overcrowded branches can help to improve air circulation, light penetration, and fruiting.
