The deciduous viburnum shrub is an unpretentious plant that bears fruit well, develops and grows with minimal care. Does not like bright sun, requires sufficient water and prefers the shady side.

Viburnum blooms in late May and early summer with white flowers. Propagation is best done by shoots, cuttings or bush division. The seeds germinate only after two years, so this propagation process is not used. Viburnum fruits look like small, bright red beads that hang in clusters on the branches. Viburnum, whose beneficial properties have long been used in medicine and in the national economy, is rich in phytoncides, ascorbic acid, and vitamins A and E.

Red viburnum seedlings are planted either in autumn or spring. Humus and wood ash are placed in the planting hole. For a good harvest, the plant must be fed annually with potassium and phosphorus, and to rejuvenate the bush, remove old branches from below.
