Key Features

Withlacoochee is a dense, native evergreen viburnum with white late-winter blooms, red-to-black berries, and strong value for pollinators and birds.

Special considerations

Not tolerant of salt spray or brackish water, and it dislikes both extreme drought and constant flooding. It can sucker to form a thicket, and the berries feed birds.

Growing and Care Instructions

Withlacoochee Walter's Viburnum grows best in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Prune lightly after spring bloom to shape it as a hedge or small multi-trunk specimen.

  • Fertilizing

    Light feeder; one or two applications of slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer is plenty.

  • Watering

    Keep soil evenly moist while establishing; tolerates occasional wet spells but not extreme drought.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun to part shade (4+ hours of direct sun).

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
