Pruning a Viburnum opulus 'Compactum'

Viburnum opulus 'Compactum' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its compact shape. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and overall plant health. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can encourage more blooms. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease.

Rainwater can be a great alternative to tap water. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Once established, this plant shows good drought resistance, but young plants benefit from additional watering.

Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to ensure the plant receives the nutrients it needs. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering helps them penetrate the soil. During dry spells, water the garden to activate the fertiliser and nourish the roots effectively.
