Description

Experience the most beautiful berry display in the plant kingdom! Brandywine™ viburnum delivers loads of breathtaking berries that transform from green to shades of vivid pink and blue. Brandywine™ viburnum has good berry production even without another pollinator nearby; it is useful for ensuring fruit production on 'Winterthur,' however. Showy glossy leaves change to incredible dark maroon-red in autumn.
