About̴Ì?Pot Grown Viburnum Davidii

The Viburnum davidii̴Ì?foliage is̴Ì?decorated with splashes of white flowers during May, following with long-lasting blue-black berries that grow during the Autumn and Winter months.̴Ì?It is a little faster at growing when it is young and slows down as it matures- plus, it is very easy to trim, which is always a bonus.̴Ì?

After it has flowered, ensure you trim back the longer shoots to enable it to quickly regenerate from old wood.̴Ì?We do not recommend you trim it to a formal and neatly clipped hedge, but it can still make a beautiful bit of informal hedging with plentiful of welcomed, year-round interest.

Pruning & Care

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

Viburnum davidii is rather slow growing, therefore meaning it does not require much pruning. To maintain a neat, dome-like shape, you will need to prune back to strong stems/the base of the plant, after the flowering season is over. You will also need to remove any damaged or diseases shoots to retain a thriving, healthy plant. It is also recommended that you feed and mulch the plant after trimming, as to encourage healing and further healthy growth.
