Emerald Triumph viburnum is the result of a cross between ‘Allegheny’ and the Manchurian viburnum (V. burejaeticum). This shrub can grow to a height of 8’ with a similar spread. Abundant white flowers in early May give way to fruits that ripen to a bright red in late summer then turn black in the fall. Fall foliage is bronze to dark red.

Viburnums are a versatile genus of multi-stemmed shrubs that are well suited to the home landscape due to their range of sizes and cultural adaptability. Some viburnums are noted for their fragrant flowers; most bear small fruit that may add visual interest. Many viburnums have attractive fall color. There are over 100 different varieties of viburnum at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
