Emerald Triumph Viburnum, viburnum 'Emerald Triumph', exhibits creamy white flat-topped flowers in spring that are followed by clusters of red berries, maturing to black in fall. This compact rounded shrub has disease resistant, glossy green foliage that changes to purple-bronze in fall. Emerald Triumph a true winner among viburnum because it's so easy to grow. It's an extremely durable shrub that also holds up well to drought. Tolerates clay soils better than most viburnum. It is a deciduous shrub that grows 5 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide. The foliage is glossy green and an excellent choice for landscapes in shaded and partial sun areas. Since the foliage is dense, it can be used as a screen hedge.

Viburnum tend to be multi-season plants with ornamental value throughout a large part of the season. ... additional information
Spice Bush The Spicebush, Lindera bezoin, is a native deciduous shrub with a broad, rounded habit which typically grows 6-12' high. Clusters of tiny, aromatic, greenish-yellow flowers bloom along the branches in early spring before the foliage emerges. Flowers of female plants give way to bright red drupes (to 1/2" long) which mature in fall and are attractive to birds. Female plants need a male pollinator in order to set fruit, however. Drupes are very attractive, but are largely hidden by the foliage until the leaves drop. Thick, oblong, light green leaves (to 5" long) turn an attractive yellow in autumn. They are easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Tolerates full shade, but habit becomes more open and wide-spreading. |
