Chinese Snow Ball Bush (3 gallon pot)

Description

Native to mainland China and grows up to 25 feet tall and 20 feet wide with a rounded vase-shaped form. The flowers are the largest of the snowball viburnums. It is a hardy shrub – easy to grow – it prefers moist acidic well-drained soils, tolerant of pruning, and is adaptable to other locations. Seems to improve the soil beneath it.

This shrub produces profuse rounded flowers in the spring – the flowers emerge chartreuse, then quickly turn to white.

This shrub has been being grown in my family forever – my great grandmother had the first one outside her brownstone apartment in NYC.
