All
Native's Walter's Viburnum ‘Withlacoochee’® is an
upright natural selection that exhibits superior
features for use in a variety of landscaping projects.
It is highly prized for its attractive growth habit,
adaptability to various soil and light conditions,
drought tolerance, disease resistance, and wildlife
habitat value. The most striking feature that separates
this selection from other Walter’s Viburnums is its
unique, dark green foliage that is stunning at first
glance. This large shrub or small tree at maturity
reaches 10-12’ in height and spreads 6-10’. In the
landscape the ‘Withlacoochee’®
is useful as a specimen or seasonal accent plant, as a
screen, along fence rows, or as a hedge.
Unlike other viburnum, the ‘Withlacoochee’® stays uniform in its
growth habit and does not get “leggy” as many of the
Viburnum species do, requiring less pruning and
maintenance. It also exhibits a showy white bloom in
the spring and maroon leaves during the winter months
in response to cold weather. Separating itself from
other Walter’s Viburnum species that are semi-deciduous,
the ‘Withlacoochee’® tends to hold more of its leaves in
the winter and keeps a very full appearance.
While
in its growth stage, small blooms will appear near the
base of the plant as the focus is geared more towards
foliage growth. The ‘Withlacoochee’®
has a habit of sending out 6-10” spikes of new growth,
filling itself in, and then spiking out again. Because
of this quality, minimal pruning is required. When the
‘Withlacoochee’®
reaches its full height, the energy will then be devoted
to the bloom, and begin to cover the entire shrub.
For All Native, the success of the ‘Withlacoochee’®
is stunning.
From its mere beginnings of only a few
plants in production, this number has grown to an
outstanding total of approximately 50-60,000 propagated
per year!
