Help w/ Identifying Viburnum?

17 years ago

Hi, I have this shrub, which I believe to be a viburnum planted in a flower bed. I need to move it, but I want to be sure I transplant it into a good place as I don't want to have to move it again. I purchased it about 3 years ago, on clearance at a local nursery. It simply said, "snowball bush." I'm more concerned about how big its going to get as that will be a major factor in where it ends up.

A little about it: As I said, its about 3 years old (was a twig when I bought it) and is around 36 inches tall. The leaves are 2.5 inches long and the snowballs are around 5 inches across. The blooms start forming in april, and slowly turn from green to white by mid May. In fall, the leaves turn purplish/red and they eventuallyfall off. This shrub does not bear any fruit.

Anyway, if you think you know what kind of viburnum it is, or if you have one and happen to know how big it gets, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
