My Viburnum shrub is loaded with berries already turning red. Last year there was hardly any berries and didn'[t notice them with color until I'm thinking October almost Nov. My shrub is telling me early fall/winter. My son said his neighbor (a farmer) claims this will be a snowy winter and lots and lots colder temps. I don't know. He was was saying that when something in his barn does something or other it means a long cold winter with lots of snow............ He said He hasn't even gotten the corn down yet. A bit early for that wouldn't you think?
