Viburnum opulus "compactus"
This flowered for the first time this year, very well. I was so looking forward to the berries but none have set.
It isn't dioeceous is it? Any other ideas please?

Hi Jg - thanks for replying. This one is only supposed to grow to five feet ( Viburnum opulus compactum)and I hope that's correct, as I already have the snowball one that gets very tall. I think the one you have must be V. opulus roseum. There will never be any berries on that one as it is sterile.(Its beautiful in flower though) I was caught out like that myself through not reading the label properly which is why I now have both! What I was wondering was whether you need a male and a female to get berries on the compactum.

hi Steragram,i have just been looking over some of the recent questions, and I saw yours on Viburnum Opulus.....................I was given one of these as a gift for fathers day two years ago. The flowers have been beautifull each year [pure white balls] although have not seen any berries on it yet..............it can get quite tall and leggy....................Hope this helps.
