  • Posted by ILPARW (southeast Pennsylvania - Zone 6b) on Dec 1, 2020 10:37 AM concerning plant:
    This cultivar was selected from a seedling that came from Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois and then introduced into the nursery trade in 1967 by Synnestvedt Nursery in Round Lake, Illinois, northwest of Chicago. It is noted as having dark, glossy leaves. It does not get good fall color. It does, however, bear abundant fruit if it is cross-pollinated by another Smooth Viburnum, whether the mother species or another cultivar.
