Viburnum dilatatum is commonly called linden viburnum because its leaves 
resemble those of the linden tree (Tilia). It is native to open forests, 
forest margins, lowlands, foothills and scrubby areas in China, Korea and 
Japan. It is an upright to rounded, deciduous shrub that typically matures 
to 8-10’ tall and to 6-8’ wide. Creamy white flowers (1/4” diameter) in 
showy, domed clusters (cymes to 5” wide) appear in late spring (May to 
early June). Flowers give way to ovoid bright red fruits (drupes to 1/3” 
long) that mature in late summer to early fall and persist on the shrub 
into early winter. Berries are attractive to birds. Orbicular to broad-ovate, 
wrinkled, dark green leaves (to 5” long) are coarsely toothed and pubescent 
on both sides. Leaves turn shades of bronze, burgundy and dull red in fall.

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full 
sun to part shade. Prefers moist loams, but tolerates wide range of 
soils. Established plants have some drought tolerance. Prune as needed 
immediately after flowering. Single plants usually do not fruit well. 
For best fruit production, plant two or more V. dilatatum selections 
in close proximity to each other.
