Q: I read that multiple viburnums are needed to have best fruit production. And I would need seed grown viburnum to preserve genetic diversity, not clones. I could squeeze in 2 if that is required for best fruit production. My goal is to create great wildlife habitat.

Q: I am on the hunt for some fragrant, show-y, flowering shrubs to put in a new pollinator garden in front of my house. Does this fit the bill? I would really like to smell it in the air when I leave the house.

Asked by: Christina Reilmann - 3/12/2021

A: This one is showy, but not necessarily fragrant. You need Golden Currant (Ribes odoratum) to fill the air.
