These look like little red baloons, don't they?

They do-a very fitting name. I'm glad to finally see berries. A very intense red. I took a few pictures before the birds gobble them up. :)

I adore viburnum, not heard of this variety. Very nice.

This is a new one Dawn. It was so small when they shipped it to me 3 years ago. Finally, it's mature enough to bear fruit.

Brilliant. It should get going well now, I find once established they grow fast :)

Oh that's good to know - This one is a real winner - beautiful white flowers in spring followed be these bright red berries with occasional black, the more the better.

And .... I find cuttings from Viburnum are easy to do. I usually take mine mid July (semi ripe cuttings) try it ;). This is a beauty and sure you could squeeze in another.

I will give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion. I surely have space for another. They don't grow too big, about 8 feet tops.
