Mine is not blooming either. This bush is about 5'5 feet tall and about 4-5 feet wide! No BLOOMS AT ALL!!! What can I do to the soil to make it bloom? I'm very mad!!!:(

I have a snowball tree that i planted last year. I was blooming beautiful. On February of this year I replace this tree to another location. The tree is blooming the snow balls but no leaves. The tree looks weird. Can you tell me why this is happening?

I have a mature snowball viburnum and sometimes it doesn't bloom if we have a late freeze while it is setting the bloom. Did you have a late freeze after a warm period?

shaybass: Some things you might check:
-Are you fertilizing the snowball? They generally don't need much fertilizer and if you're using a fertilizer with much nitrogen (the first number of the three on the label) that could encourage lots of growth and leaves, but fewer blooms.
-Is the plant getting a good bit of sun? If not, you might want to try moving it to a sunnier spot.
-Check to be sure that it wasn't planted too deep. The ground level should be no higher than the top roots. It's really best to plant them so that the top roots are a little higher than the ground level, then barely cover the roots and let the ground slope slightly away from the trunk.

I have a small snowball that I got at the swap last fall and haven't planted yet. It's not two feet tall and bloomed in the pot this year, so it doesn't seem as if size would be the deciding factor.

Good luck. Alice

My snowball was about 3 feet tall, when a van knocked down 59 feet of fence (2004) and ran over it. Then hurricane Ivan knocked down limbs on it, the next year H. Dennis (among other tropical storms, and hurricane 'edge' winds) knocked down more limbs. Finally this year it bloomed --FINALLY--, and was beautiful.....I am glad I was patient with it!

I have one I planted 2 years ago. It is in a sunny area, well drained and acid soil. It is only about 3 ft tall now, so I will be patient and wait for it to grow taller. It looks really healthy.

We have a snowball in the yard that has been a good bloomer for many years. As trees have grown and created more shade, the plant has become less prolific. I would think yours likes a good deal of sun and would watch for how it may be shaded.

I have several snowball bushes that have never bloomed. However they are 9

years old and have been pruned at least once a year. We have about a 60 inch view out our window, that's why they are pruned. Should I plant at least 3 of them somewhere else alone where they don't need pruning to see if that it the problem. As far as I know I've never seen any buds on them. Also, are they evergreen?

Thanks so much for your help. We like our view but also want flowers. : )
