watering
Linden Viburnum should be watered deeply when soil is dry down to about 2 inches below the soil level. Water approximately twice a week in warm weather, but reduce watering to once a week if temperatures are cool. However, in hot and windy climates, watering as often as twice a day is recommended. It is important to not over water as it can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Linden viburnum (Viburnum 'Oneida') should receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and flowering. This should be split up into 2 to 3 sessions of 2 to 3 hours each, preferably in the morning and/or early afternoon. Avoid placing this plant in shaded areas during mid-day and afternoon when the strongest sunlight is present.
pruning
Linden viburnum (Viburnum 'Oneida') should be pruned in late winter or early spring. This species should be lightly pruned, as it only needs minimal intervention. Start by removing any dead, diseased, or damaged branches, then shape the shrub to your desired look by removing some of the more overcrowded or awkwardly placed branches. Be careful not to remove too much of the plant’s foliage or branches as this can stunt it’s growth. To promote lush new growth, selectively remove a couple of the oldest, woodiest branches each year. With light pruning, linden viburnum will develop a wonderful mound or ball form.
