nomoss Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Does someone know the name of this pretty bush, please. About 5m high.

nomoss Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thank you very much!Searching via Google I'm guessing European Snowball Bush, Viburnum opulus "Sterile", becasuse of the maple shaped leaves.We saw it growing in thick damp pine forest, so, as it likes "moist yet well-drained humus-rich soil", we can do the well-drained bit, but I don't think it will be a suitable candidate for the rocky, dry clay in what we jokingly call or garden[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukhostland Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yep, everyone has it right as Viburnum opulus Sterile. Easy to grow, even in the rubbish clay soil of our front garden in the Centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I call it the pompom bush, grows well around here but it is very very prone to blackfly - they love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
