Viburnums in Rand Park


Viburnums are native to North America, which means that they are noninvasive.  They are also great because they are disease and pest resistant. There are several different types of viburnums that can be used. They flower in the spring and bear red, to dark purple, to black berries in the late summer and fall.  They can also produce long lasting fruits for winter birds. This is especially important because the purpose of the viburnums in our Rand Park ecosystem is to attract birds.  In addition to providing birds with nourishment, viburnums also provide a canopy that shelters birds. Viburnums are extremely versatile in the sense that they are diverse in leaf shape and texture and flora.  Leaf shape and texture includes rounded, toothed, smooth, velvety or rough. They also produce fragrances that attract humans as well as birds. In addition to these wonderful characteristics, viburnums are appealing to the eye.
