The flowers look like hydrangeas flowers! So pretty 🤩
I have 3 of these that I prune into "tree form" around our house in zone 8a, and they are planted FULL SUN. They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL in Spring, but you are correct that they do not get many flowers in fall (or get smaller flowers in fall). We have viscious deer in our neighborhood. The deer will eat all of their leaves when they are small, but after a couple of years....the deer seem to leave them alone.
Just so you know, I planted one at My grandmothers house in White City Oregon (worlds Smallest Desert they say. I was irrigated so water wasn't issue, but the heat there in the summer is hot and very dry. The Plant had south and western exposure with dry winds hitting it all summer. AS a landscaper that has worked from Vancouver to Las Vegas, I was happy with the results from this shrub. I would say they area pretty tough and pretty awesome when they bloom. Hers was about twelve feet tall after fifteen years.
Thanks for spending the time to do this video. I always like to here what other people say about plant material. Even if I don't agree with everything every time, I always pick up something.
I LOVE... SNOW BALL FLOWERS THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
Well they grow grow in clay soil
Beautiful! Can it handle hot and humidity? I’m in central Texas.
Jim, I have a about 5 chinese snowball viburnum. Mostly full sun in zone 7a western ky. The problem I notice is that half the bush has flat disk like flowers similar to lacecap, the other half is round ball shape. what is the possilbe reason.
Thank you, Jim! I always love your detailed videos! One thing I noticed about my Chinese snowballs is that the blooms smelled like mildew! I couldn’t even have them in the house! Has anyone had this issue before?
Jim, last year I had this planted in the yard. It didn’t fair well.....the leaves curled. I did spray it with pesticides to see if that would help. It bloomed sparsely in the fall but the leaves still did not look healthy. Should I do anything with it now....no blooms yet.
Great job! Love watching your videos. Very informative. Keep up the great work Jim!
Can I plant this in the fall in Middle Tennessee?
Hi. Thank you very much for the video/info re snowball. I live in Southern California. Zone 10. Will snowball do well in this zone?
I am in love with this plant. I have three viburnum bushes on the north side of my house and they tend to flower for a very short period. I live in zone 5 and would like to try and plant Chinese snowball bush in a large pot or even in the ground in the south side of my house. I'd like to know your thoughts on this:)
Did you end up trying it? I'm Indy zone 5
I wish he’d replied…
Mine are not deer resistant. They don’t eat them to the ground but they definitely thin out the branches and take most of the buds
How far from the house should you plant them?
Thank you for sharing.
How do you propagate the Chinese Snowball? From cuttings?
Can I prune my opulus roseum into tree. My husband picked up the wrong one, lol I wanted the Chinese one. Thanks
I really want to plant one on corner of house but the spot I have in mind gets hot afternoon & evening sun (NW corner of house). Do you know of a better Snowball Viburnum for this situation?
I have what I believe is a "Roseum" common snowball plant and am wondering how best to prune?
These things take up a lot of space. I prune mine and shape them like a tree. Cut away the lower 2/3 growth and let the top third expand.
Oh yeah, it can get big.
can these be planted in zone 4? Saskatoon Saskatchewan.?
One time me and my cousin would pull off a whole flower cluster and throw it up in the air like confetti. My aunt was SO upset lol.
🤣🤣💀
😂😂😂
😂😂
I want plant a Chinese snowball in a section that gets indirect light All day but no direct sunlight. My hydrangeas do amazing in the spot. Do you think this would be an acceptable spot to plant the Chinese Snowball
It will be fine there, but it may need some extra pruning to keep it full. Also likely a few less flowers.
HortTube with Jim Putnam thank you for the extra reinsurance
What if a dog urinating on them and they stop growing
I would like plant a privacy screen on both sides of my patio (about 15ft on each side). I do have plenty of room to plant these about 10+ ft away from the actual patio. I am in zone 7a and the spot gets full sun. Would this be a good plant for me? Would you recommend something else? I am looking for anything that grows over 6' that is evergreen or will hold foliage year round/ deer resistant. And of course something that grows fairly fast. I was thinking 2 or three of these on either side.
In zone 7a this will definitely not be evergreen for you. It will lose all leaves in early winter.
Elaeagnus!
looks like a hydrangea, which one would you prefer
+joelyboyblue They have similar flowers. The Viburnum is less picky,but it needs more sun than the hydrangea
HortTube with Jim Putnam thanks jim lookin forward to tryin one out
If you like the blooms. and the height, and have a spot where Hydrangea my not like the heat, try Limelight Hydrangeas. I plant a lot of them. They area awesome.
what is the soil you use?
My sister gave me A snow ball tree it’s taller than my house but I only get a few blooms maybe two or three what should I do it’s beautiful and healthy The leaves are gorgeous it just won’t bloom should I cut it back !!!!!
You can prune it, but it possibly just not getting enough sun. They are reliable, if they are growing typically.
I finally got one!!! Gonna be so incredible framing the view out of my kitchen window!!! 💚💚💚

This is such a great video! My husband planted around 10 of these (they were ~2 ft. tall/3 gallons when they arrived from the nursery) at the beginning of the summer, so they've been in the ground for about three months now. We live south of Tucson 😬, so it's pretty warm and there's a LOT of sunshine.
I wouldn't even consider us "amateurs" because we've not reached that rank yet, so we're pretty clueless on their care. Some of the plants seem to be doing really well, while others have leaves that are starting to curl. Half are thinner/taller, while the other half are denser/smaller.
Do you (or anyone reading this) have any advice on why the leaves are curling and/or why they appear to be growing in different ways? Should we add anything to the soil/water? Should we shade them during the most intense parts of the summer?
Apologies for this long comment with so many questions; we just want to keep these beautiful plants happy and healthy! Absolutely any advice would be welcome!
I think the problem is too little water and too much sun. How are they now?
@@thefitzs The weird thing is that they're just not growing. They're not dead, but they're not flourishing at all. They're no larger than when we first planted them. I'm afraid this environment is just too much for them.
@@SmittenKitten. yeah it might be just too warm and dry there. But don't give up yet. Give them another year, just keep them watered when the soil is dry. Mine went NUTS the second growing season. There's still hope. P.S., go Wildcats!! I'm an AZ alum. 🙂
@@thefitzs Are you kidding me?! How fortuitous! Haha!
Also, thank you tons for the advice. We've been on the fence about whether to replace them or to leave them alone. I'll definitely give them another year!
Thank you tons for the gardening and mood morale boost! :D
@@thefitzs I hope you don't mind me asking a question: do yours bloom in full shade? We have several on the backside of our house and they never see the sun directly. I'm sorry if this is a stupid newb question.
How far apart should I plant them in a hedge?
Four feet would work well. Thanks for watching.
how can you tell if it's this or a baby hydrangea?
the bloom times are different, viburnum bloom in the early spring, hydrangeas in the summer. The height of the plant would tell you. This particular snowball bush grows to (at least) ten feet tall. Also, the leaves of the two plants are different.
where can i order the Chinese snowball? the one in the video
I bought mine at Lowe’s for $4 a piece
Does it smell. ...?
No, no fragrance on these.
@@thefitzs thanks a lot..👍
The WORST invasive shrub in the East. I hate them
