Latin Name:  Viburnum dilatatum
Family:  Caprifoliaceae
Author:  Thunb.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  3   Mature Width:  2

Habitat:  Thickets in hills and at low elevations in mountains in Japan[58].

Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, it succeeds in most soils but is ill-adapted for poor soils and for dry situations[1]. It 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]. A very ornamental[1] and polymorphic species[58], there are some named varieties developed for the ornamental value of the fruit[182].
