Viburnum erosum Deciduous shrub (1 Page of 5) The Viburnum erosum plant species is found in E. Asia - China, Japan. It is a member of the Caprifoliaceae family. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Viburnum erosum Family: Caprifoliaceae Author: Thunb. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 1.8 Mature Width: Habitat: Sunny hills and low elevations in mountains, C. and S. 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].
This species is perhaps not perfectly hardy in Britain[11]. Another report says that it succeeds in climatic zone 6, which means that it should be hardy in almost all of Britain[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].
Closely related to V. ichangense[1].
