Planting & Growing

Autumn Jazz Viburnum will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 10 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines.

It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selection of a native North American species.
