Latin Name:  Viburnum cylindricum
Family:  Caprifoliaceae
Author:  Buch-Ham.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  5   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Rather dry forests, mainly with rhododendron and oak, 1200 - 2400 metres from Himachel Pradesh to S.W. China[51, 146].

Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, succeeding in most soils but ill-adapted for poor soils and dry situations[1]. Prefers a deep rich loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[11, 200]. Best if given shade from the early morning sun in spring[200]. Plants are self-incompatible and need to grow close to a genetically distinct plant in the same species in order to produce fruit and fertile seed[11, 200]. The flowers are sweetly scented[245].
