Mohawk Viburnum

General Information

Mohawk Viburnum is more compact than Viburnum  x burkwoodii.  It is a backcross from V. x burkwoodii and V. carlesii.  It was introduced by Dr. Donald Egolf of the U.S. National Arboretum in 1966. The glossy, dark green foliage turns beautiful shades of yellow, orange and red in the fall. ‘Mohawk’ is deciduous in the winter. In early spring, dark red flower buds appear, which later open to a soft white. Red berry like drupes follow the flowers and add continued interest.  They often persist into the winter and will darken as they mature. The spicy, clove like fragrance of the Mohawk is considered by many to be the most fragrant of the viburnums. Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Gold Metal Plant in 1993. Great for a hedge or foundation planting.  Plant as a specimen or group planting. Use in grouping for the best cross-pollination and fruit set.
