Viburnum tinus 'French White'



The only picture I have of Viburnum tinus 'French White'. During the 1980s I grew a number of clones of Viburnum tinus, many of which were never photographed (film was relatively expensive). I don't remember where I got this rooted cutting but for a while it prospered in the front garden unrecorded. I think I dug it out as unexceptional when I needed space, but memory is unreliable.

Trees and Shrubs online says:br> "A vigorous form, often sold for hedging as V. tinus simply. Young stems hairy; leaves moderately glossy. Flowers white when fully open."

Earlswood Garden Centre say:

"Viburnum Tinus French White is a lovely medium sized evergreen shrub. It is a fast growing shrub with dark leaves and clusters of small flat white flowers during the late winter and early Spring followed by dark blue-black ornamental fruit. Flourishing in sun or partial shade, the shiny, dark green foliage provides a dense backdrop against which ornamental plants can easily be seen."



19th January 1983
