Experience with Viburnum Eskimo?

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

Having a hard time getting real info and pictures of V. Eskimo! Is it really evergreen? What does it look like when not in flower? I like it’s flowers and slightly olive coloring better than V. Tinus but I’m a little worried of purchasing if it has a scraggly appearance.

'Eskimo' is a hybrid (cross between V. carlcephalum 'Cayuga' and V. utile), so not a cultivar of erubescens. And not fully evergreen although in this climate, it is more evergreen than not (will drop some foliage in colder winters). Very heavy bloomer. Makes a dense, compact mound about 4'x4', possibly a bit larger.

Thanks @Gardengal48 - Do you feel like it looks attractive when not in flower? Making master plans for a mixed border/privacy planting. Tinus is probably a safer bet, but a liiittle boring.
