Mohawk Burkwood Viburnum is a compact rounded multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with dense branching and glossy wrinkled dark green leaves that turn orange-red to burgundy in fall.  Dark red flower buds open to large flat clusters of creamy white flowers with a spicy fragrance that bloom in spring and give way to bright red berries that mature to black in fall.  Flowers best with full sun and moist, lightly acidic well-drained soils.  Drought tolerant once established.  Foliage is evergreen in the South but will still earn fall color.  Type:  Shrub Origins: V. carlesii and V. utile Hybrid Height:  8' - 10' Spread:  8’ - 10' Spacing:  8' USDA Hardiness Zone:  5 - 8 Culture:  Full Sun, Part Sun Bloom Color:  White Season of Interest:  Spring, Fall MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance.  Prune immediately as needed after flowering- flower buds start in summer.   Pruned stems will not have fruit display.LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group
