Viburnum cassinoides 'Hillier Form'

From botanist Allen J. Coombes comes this yet untitled clone.  A 10' high and wide form packed with seasonal color.  Foliage emerges in the spring a rich, shiny, deep chocolate-purple, then maturing to a dark blue-green.  Fall coloration is a deep mahogany-purple.  White flowers of the species produce beautiful robin's-egg blue fruit.
