Viburnum prunifolium 'Ovation'

A new slower growing selection of blackhaw that is self scaffolding, forming a very tight and compact, upright, columnar structure that is perfect for screens or limited space areas.  Formal, very tight structure growing 10' tall and only 6' wide.  New foliage emerges a subtle rosy-pink, maturing to crisp celery green.  Flowers typical of the species attract hummingbirds and butterflies.  Fall color is a rich burgundy.  Another Lake Cournty Nursery introduction.  Zone 4
