What Makes Me Special?
Autumn Jazz has a uniform shape, dense branching and great fall color. It requires less shaping than other dentatum selections.
Landscape Use
Borders, foundations, mass plantings, commercial landscapes, naturalized plantings
Origin
Selected by Ralph Synnestvedt, Sr. of the Synnestvedt Nursery Company, Round Lake, Illinois.
Pruning
Viburnums flower in spring, so if they need any shaping or to have dead branches removed, be sure to do that before August, or right after flowering in the spring. If you want to have viburnum fruits, do not prune. Branches you prune after flowering will not produce fruits.
Propagation
