Viburnum awabuki 'Chindo' - Chindo viburnum

[@thefitzs]

OH THANKS BE TO GOD I finally know what the plant was at my old house!!! 🤣 I've tried so hard to figure it out and wasn't successful. That thing was a BEAST! I've been wanting to plant a couple at our new house, now I can. Thanks a million Jim!

I bought a Chindo Viburnam years back from seeing them at your last house. Now that it's established it's FLYING, TAKING OFF growth wise, especially vertically.

First time meeting this shrub! Thank you

[@Meggyton]

We have these in a mixed privacy border near our patio and the Japanese beetles absolutely love them 😢

Thanks Jim! Bookmarking for future maintenance reference. I put a few of these on the back property line and this helps reinforce them as the right choice.

Love this channel!! 😎

Just planted a chindo in the back of my property. A Leyland on my neighbors side has been dying. Chindo is perfect, evergreen, tall & grows fast. Mine is in front of a wood line so lots of morning sun.

Thanks Jim. ❄️💚🙃

How do the deer feel about it?

Goes to show how different conditions can be in the same zone, I'm in zone 7B as well, in the mountains of Northern California, and my plants are all buried in 30" of snow. This fact requires me to do some experimenting, since we don't get super cold (lowest so far this year was 14 degrees), but get a ton of snow. Most plants handle it just fine but so far this year I've learned that crape myrtles and sunshine illicium can not handle the snow load. Meanwhile Japanese pachysandra has been spreading like CRAZY underneath the snowpack.

Jim .....what brand organic fertilizer to you use on your plants?

[@begrace4862]

I planted Chindo Viburnum in the summer but it’s lost all the foliage this winter. Hoping it will come back to life this spring but no signs of life yet.

[@wendyostlund3482]

How far apart to plant to create a screen, and how far from solid fence?

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Can a “Chindo” be sheared on the sides to keep it at 6ft wide while allowing it to grow tall?

[@blewis101]

Will this plant reseed itself from the matured berries dropped?

Why is my shindo vibratom leaves turning brown in the spring time

[@lornalorna4026]

I have a full shade spot I'd like to plant one in. Would it ever bush out after pruning?

[@katiekane5247]

Lots of better choices for full shade. This plant would be thin & straggly there. Mahonia would do well in shade, what's your zone?

[@gardengirl649]

Would you please put the zone on the title page when you do a plant profile so I know whether the plant will work in my colder zone.

[@ellensullivan8215]

Do deer eat them?

[@jul7673]

Mine’s been in ground for over 2 years. Never been touched, even in late winter, when everything is fair game.
