Snowball Viburnum

Evans Cherry is an Alberta-developed cold hardy tree that has been thriving in the prairies for over 50 years. This highly productive self-pollinating tree requires little maintenance. The fruit is good for cooking or fresh eating when fully ripe. Evans Cherry is an attractive tree, with white blossoms in spring and reddish-orange fruit that ripens to a bright red.

Cherry trees do not like "wet feet" and are not tolerant of poor draining soil. So, select your planting site carefully.

Snowball Viburnum is a popular ornamental shrub with prolific flowering. This plant is prized for its round clusters of white flowers that resemble snowballs, delighting children and adults. In fall, its leaves turn vibrant shades of red.

Snowball Viburnum is sought after as a single accent shrub, but can also make a dense hedge or privacy screen.
