Hi. I posted 9 months ago after planting a viburnum plicatum 'Lanarth". The plant did great over summer and autumn and the leaves coloured up nicely before falling mid-winter recently. There are plenty of buds so I expect it to flower in spring. Today I bought a viburnum odoratissimum that is evergreen and has plenty of buds. It looks a similar size to yours in this video. I am going to plant it out in front of the house in a day or so and will use your technique. Thanks for this great video. :)

I wish I'd watched this before planting a viburnum in the garden today. (smile) Mine is the same or similar type (viburnum plicatum tomentosum 'Lanarth'), same size, same root-bound condition. What I didn't do was to add as many amendments, and pack down the soil around the shrub in the ground. I also did not create a well. But other than that, I did more or less the same thing. I was thinking of staking mine temporarily, but you didn't bother so I guess I won't, after all. Thanks for the great video!

nice video, how about repairing a viburnum hedge where they are all woody at bottom, can you add new ones in between? not much room between roots

Thank you!

[@laflakalynda]

Beautiful! Do you have a video of how it looks now? :)

[@Coastofmaine]

Hi, sorry, no.

[@georgerikken]

Nice done 😀

[@ransomcoates546]

Heavy soil amendments are a VERY bad idea because they create a fertile barrier that keeps roots from moving into the native dirt.

how do you know if the burlap plants are root bound and need to be cut loose?

[@Coastofmaine]

Hi Conrad, we recommend that you remove the burlap before planting. Treated burlap takes a long time to decay and though roots may grow through it, we have found that it can constrict them from reaching their optimum size and diameter.
