unknown shrub

6 years ago

Does anyone know what kind of shrub is in this picture? It's about 4 feet high and the same in diameter. The picture was taken in February. The buds opened into tiny white flowers. I'm in Zone 7, in Ashland, Oregon. I've never watered it much, and the summers here are very dry, so it seems drought tolerant.

Viburnum tinus, most likely the cultivar 'Spring Bouquet' (aka 'Compactum').

Zone 7 for Ashland is the Sunset Zone, of course, and not the USDA Zone. Leaves of plant shown are too pointed and glossy for the longtime Spring Bouquet* ('Compactum') sold by Monrovia, which I think of as the "true" item merely because that is what I saw under the name for decades. Until probably at least two other cultivars appeared on the local market in recent years, also offered as 'Compactum'.

*The cultivar is 'Compactum', with Spring Bouquet being a selling name and not a cultivar name

Thanks Ken. I'm open to suggestions. Took 4 smaller yews out. I have a coppertina next to the porch (viewable in the pic) and a recently planted quickfire hydrangea on the opposite corner to the left....with a bunch if space in the middle of the two. I have 5 smaller boxwood I could bring from the north side of the house to get some sun. I'm not sure what kind they are...the leaves are non glossy. Just looking for ideas to make a nice foundation bed in front of the house.

It's a Campsis vine, and the berries are actually flower buds. Also commonly called trumpet vine. Campsis radicans.

Per USDA, Ashland actually has two zones in their system, 7b and 8b.
