Hello I purchased a viburnum cassinoides a few years ago and it has never produced fruit. I suspect this is because i didn't buy a second plant to pollinate it. Please tell me which other viburnum would make a suitable pollinator for Viburnum cassinoides. Thank You.

Hi flickeringpa:

Your best bet for proper cross-pollination would be to procure another Viburnum cassinoides - preferably from the same vendor where you got your first one.

As long as they are not IDENTICAL clones - and they overlap in bloom time - you should have fruit forming on both plants after the first time they bloom together.

Best of luck to you!
