Doublefile Viburnum White Blooms - May 2023
This is the first true Spring for the treeform Doublefile Viburnum shrubs that I planted early last Spring. I say "first true" Spring because I planted these when they were *mostly* still dormant last year and they leaf'd out post-planting. I planted four of these and three have made it through the first year. The best of the bunch is along the northside and that's the one that has been the most prolific early bloomer. Below are a couple of photos showing the blooms in mid-May. They're really quite nice as they sit - sort-of - on 'top' of the shrub. I didn't have treeform on my radar when I bought these, but I'm sure glad that I pulled the trigger and brought these home. The treeform Viburnum provides two great benefits (for me...at least): Instant height and maturity coupled with ability to underplant with perennials.
