| Botanical Name | Viburnum odoratissimum |
| Description | A vigorous, large-leafed evergreen perfect for Southeast Texas privacy screens. It thrives in our high humidity and intense heat. While it is adaptable, it requires well-drained soil to remain healthy; in heavy Houston clay, we recommend planting in a slightly raised mound to ensure the roots do not stay waterlogged during rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade |
| Height x Width | 15-20 ft. Tall x 15-20 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; requires regular watering during the first year of establishment and supplemental irrigation during the peak of Houston's summer. |
| Zones | 8 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring before the first flush of new growth. |
| Pruning | Best pruned in late spring after the flowering cycle is complete; can be easily maintained as a formal hedge or allowed to grow naturally. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
