Complete Product Information for Guelder Rose (Viburnum Opulus) Pack of 15 Cell Grown 15-30cm
The RHS Guelder Rose (Viburnum Opulus) is a British native plant, but it is also common across Europe. The name Guelder originates from the Dutch province of Guelderland.

The Viburnum Opulus is a vigorous, bushy, native deciduous shrub that has something for every season. With flat heads of heavily scented white flowers in summer, followed by masses of bunches of translucent bright red berries in autumn that stay on the plant until after its leaves have dropped. The berries are slightly harmful to humans, but are vigorously eaten by birds. The dark green leaves are palmate and prominently veined, turn red in autumn, complementing the red berries. In autumn, its foliage turns into a vibrate red colour.

In order to get good berries, the plant must flower first, therefore prune out old growth after flowering to encourage new stems that will bloom the following year, taking care not to remove flowering/berrying stems. It can be grown as an informal hedge or added to a mixed native hedge, taking into consideration that more than one Guelder Rose, will provide a higher certainty of pollination to provide good fruiting.

It is suitable for all soils and positions, in particular moist soil and wet sites and performs best in sunlight or light shade. For hedges 5-10ft, plant 2ft (60cm) apart.

The Viburnum Opulus has no serious insect or disease problems. It is wildlife friendly, with 17 identified insect types associated. A potential disease is leaf spot. Potential insects include aphids, viburnum beetle or viburnum whitefly. Toxicity; fruit can cause a mild stomach upset.

Cell Grown hedges come with the benefit of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. Infact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the worlds forestry trees are now cell grown!
