Pruning Advice
Viburnum tinus is one of a number of trees and shrubs that requires little by way of pruning and will quickly regenerate from old wood. However, if flowering reduces the plant may need to undergo 'rejuvenation'. This is where the plant is pruned quite heavily to encourage substantial fresh growth to develop and refresh the plant encouraging more production of flowers the following year.
Overgrown shrubs that have lost their shape can stand to be cut close to the ground just leaving the more robust stems in place. This allows the plant to re-grow anew. By keeping on top of pruning during re-growth you can re-establish a plant and see it flourish again, however it may take several years to achieve a fullness of shape and abundant flower production.

Viburnum tinus Hedge Plant Description
Viburnum tinus is a truly striking hedge plant that makes a wonderful decorative hedge, as it brings interest throughout the year as an informal boundary hedge.
This vigorous, bushy shrub has glossy, oval-shaped leaves that contrasts with its elegant pink buds, before they blossom into fragrant white flowers from late winter through to early spring. The flowers of the Viburnum tinus then transform into lovely blue-black berries - please note that although not toxic, we advise against eating these berries.
Growing approximately 45cm per year when young, the growth of Viburnum tinus does start to slow down as it matures, but it can reach up to 4m in height. Viburnum tinus is easy to grow - it can grow in partial or even full shade, but natural sunlight is best to allow it to flower. Ideally, Viburnum tinus should be grown in clay or moist soils but can still grow well in all but the driest or most alkaline of soils. This hardy shrub can also tolerate windy, exposed sites and even coastal locations.
Viburnum tinus can be mixed with other evergreen hedge plants that flower at different times so that you can have visual interest in your garden during every season.

What are root types?
Root types explained.
-
Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
-
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
-
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
-
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
