Abstract
Abstract Viburnum ‘Chesapeake’, which is the thirteenth Viburnum cultivar introduction from the U.S. National Arboretum shrub breeding program, has outstanding foliage and growth habit characteristics (1, 2, 3, 4). This cultivar belongs to the Section Lantana of the genus that includes such other significant landscape viburnums as V. X burkwoodii Burk. & Skip.; V. X burkwoodii ‘Mohawk’ (Egolf); V. carlesii Hemsl.; V. X carlcephalum Burk.; and V. X carlcephalum ‘Cayuga’ (Egolf). These viburnums are cultivated extensively in north temperate regions for their medium stature; subcoriaceous, deciduous to semi-evergreen leaves; and abundant, fragrant, white to pink flowers. Although ‘Chesapeake’ recombines some of the characteristics of these cultivars and species, it is distinct with coriaceous, dark green leaves; dense branching; and a compact growth habit.
