Winterthur Viburnum--how big in Z6a?

15 years ago

I have just bought several winterthur viburnums for my z6a Connecticut garden and would like to know what the mature height and width will be?

There is a lot of diverse answers on various nurery sites about whether this shrub will be 5x5 or 8x10 or something inbetween. In your response please indicat whether you have it in a moist soil or dry soil or normal soil.

V. nudum 'Winterthur' is one of the smaller and slower growing viburnums. My two are about 5x4 after over 5 years. They also handle dry soil better than many and do not send up new stems from the ground--they are shaped more like small trees with branches close to the ground. Very different growth pattern from, say, dilatatums or dentatums.
