  • Question

    I believe this is a Hobblebush Viburnum. The leaves look more like an Arrowwood Viburnum to me, but the flowers look like a Hobblebush. The bush is 9-10 ft. tall.

    Answer

    Dear kplager, good morning. You have photographed a different species of Viburnum. It appears to be Viburnum plicatum (Japanese snowball), a species that sometimes has all of the flowers converted to enlarged, sterile flowers. If correct, this is an Asian species. Best wishes.
