Well, a shout across country is heard!
Honestly, if I were you, I'd just cut down that mangey excuse for carbon storage and start over...probably wouldn't even start a decent fire.
Per your comment about the database images: there are not as many in ATP/National Gardening's file for 'Shasta' as you might find other places. What exactly is your question about the plant you've shown?
Your plant is showing classic Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum characteristics - heavy flowering, big sterile florets/bracts surrounding the fertile flowers in the lacecap blooms. You are in northern California somewhere, so I'm presuming everything performs better there than in the rest of the world. At least better than hot humid central KY limestone soils which dry out to concrete every summer.
Inquiring minds want to know...
