Abstract

Abstract ‘Eskimo’ establishes a landmark in the development of elite Viburnum cultivars as the first selection that combines the tubular V. carlesii-type flower in a snowball inflorescence, dwarf growth habit, and semi-evergreen foliage. This compact, slow-growing introduction is especially noteworthy since the majority of Viburnum species are too large and vigorous to be included in the modem home landscape. Not only does this cultivar fulfill the requirements of the home gardener, but also promotes commercial production and use by the nurserymen and landscape architects. ‘Eskimo’ is the 14th Viburnum cultivar introduced from the U.S. National Arboretum shrub breeding project (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
