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

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  3   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Forests and shrubberies, especially in moist localities in the undergrowth of oak and fir, to 3000 metres[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]. Plants are given a hardyness zone of 9 (only tolerating light frosts) in [200], this is a bit surprising since they are found at elevations of up to 3000 metres in the Himalayas. This species is closely related to V. wilsonii[11].
