What is a snowball shrub?

Bush Snowball is a member of the plant species viburnum opulus that came from Europe and Western and North Asia. It is a big rounded shrub that gets its name because of the big clusters of the white flowers it produces. White flowers generally last for three weeks. There are two types of snow balls: ordinary and Japanese.

During the late spring, a conventional snowball usually grows from six to ten feet (182.8 to 304.8 cm) tall and equally wide. Bush passes into a fall as the flowers disappear and its leaves turn from green to a bright shade of Burgundy. During the autumn and winter, it produces red berries, which are considered to be dangerous to people, but normally eat birds.

The Japanese Snow Bullet shrub is larger than the common version and generally grows from seven to twelve feet (213.4 to 365.8 cm) high and wide. Although it was created in Japan, the shrub is widely grown in southern part of the connected states. It is a larger version of common diversity and in spring the same mass of white flowers grows and in autumn hasburgundy leaves and berries.

Snowball shrubs are used by gardeners as the main focus. Bush is tall and continues to expand, so the gardeners can set up other small plants around it. Some gardeners also enjoy a shrub because it is almost all year round and rarely bare. Bushs Snowball can also take care of relatively easily.

Since snow balls can grow in full sun and partial shadow, it can be grown in most areas of North America. In general, it does not require more than one watering a week and lasts dry conditions. Strong rain or too much watering can cause the roots to fall apart and stop blooming. After white flowers initially bloom in the spring, the old branches of the eating season must be cut off and removed to revive the shrub for the next annual vegetation season and ensure a neat appearance.

although the bushes of snowballs are not stoodAven's high risk of pest contamination, there is some insects that can potentially destroy the snowball shrub and prevent it from flowering. Bush is susceptible to the attacks of aphids, spiders and tremor mites, types of small insects that plants eats. Insects can be treated by spraying with water three times a day.
