Viburnum dentatum (Arrowwood Viburnum)


Michael's Opinion

A native plant that has of late in Ontario been adversley affected by the Viburnum Leaf Beetle. That said it is a suitable shrub for woodland plantings but is not one of the showiest plants for front of the border situations.The beetle has devastated this plant in the past couple of years and we wait to see how it will respond in future years.
