I planted an Autumn Ja... #286896

Asked October 25, 2015, 2:54 PM EDT

I planted an Autumn Jazz Arrowwood Viburnum 3 years ago and although it is healthy and does flower every year, the flowers do not turn to berries. I thought I read that I needed another nearby? Not sure, can't find where I read it.

An update:   I did more research and found that I do need to plant another Arrowwood Viburnum that flowers at the same time as mine, which is late spring, early summer.   I have a spot that is about 50 feet away that I could place another shrub.  Looking for something that will work for zone 3.   Northern Burgundy maybe?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

All arrowwwod viburnums (Viburnum dentatum) are listed as at least Zone 3 hardy, so take your pick!

I did to research and found many that are zone 3.  My question is that I need one that will "mate" with the one I have in order to get the berries...so they need to bloom at the same time.  That doesn't happen with all of the zone 3 plants.  My specific question is which one will bloom at the same time.

The two most common cross-pollinators for Autumn Jazz look to be Chicago Lustre Arrowwood or Blue Muffin Arrowwood.
