Viburnum dilatatum Erie

Erie Viburnum

Erie Linden Viburnum (Viburnum dilatatum ‘Erie’) develops a broad deciduous framework with green leaves. Its abundant fruit begins orange-red in late summer and becomes a richer coral shade after frost.

Yellow, orange, and red leaf colors add to the autumn display. Allow enough space for the wide spread so the fruiting branches remain easy to see.

Suitable for sun or partial shade and a range of soils. Check local suitability before planting: Linden Viburnum can spread invasively in parts of the eastern United States.
