Viburnum tinus hedge

Hardy hedge.  Can create a hedge from 50cm up to 3m.  Evergreen, White flower in winter and spring.  This plant makes an excellent hedge or screen plant.  Is a little slower growing compared to other Viburnums,  however it does not require as much pruning and will live longer, estimated at around 60 years in good conditions.   Is considered to be drought tolerant and grows best in sub-tropical to temperate climates.  Water and fertilise well to establish, after that Viburnum tinus will look after itself.    Looks it's best with regular pruning, however twice a year minimum is suggested.  Gets covered in white flowers if left unpruned that put on a good show.   In regard to pests, spider mite is only major pest, but normally only occurs if plant is grown in heavy shade.   Viburnum tinus is best suited to full sun, however it will also take semi-shade conditions.
