How to keep Viburnum Ux Burkwoodii.
Water
A deep watering every week is usually sufficient, either through rainfall or irrigation. Native varieties that are well established have a moderately good tolerance for drought.
Temperature
Viburnums prefer moderate conditions, though the preferences vary greatly depending on species. Extremely hot weather requires extra watering, and very cold temperatures can stunt the plant or cause dieback.
Fertilizer
Most viburnums need little more than one application each year of a balanced, time-release fertilizer mixed into the soil in spring. Once well-established, most shrubs do well without any feeding.
Pruning
Leggy shoots can be trimmed back in early summer to maintain the shrub's form. Broken, dead, or diseased branches should be removed as soon as you notice them.
