Pollination Info
Pollination Information for Cayuga Viburnum (Viburnum x carlcephalum 'Cayuga')
The Cayuga Viburnum (Viburnum x carlcephalum 'Cayuga') is a deciduous shrub that blooms in spring with fragrant clusters of pink flowers. To produce fruit, it requires cross-pollination with another compatible Viburnum variety.
The Cayuga Viburnum is self-sterile, which means that it cannot fertilize its own flowers. Therefore, it needs a different Viburnum variety to provide the compatible pollen for fertilization. It is important to ensure that the other Viburnum variety blooms at the same time as the Cayuga Viburnum, or the pollination may not be successful.
Some of the compatible Viburnum varieties for the Cayuga Viburnum include the Korean Spice Viburnum (Viburnum carlesii), Judd Viburnum (Viburnum x juddii), and Burkwood Viburnum (Viburnum x burkwoodii).
Cross-pollination can be achieved by planting two compatible Viburnum varieties in close proximity, ideally within 50 feet of each other. Bees and other pollinators can also help with the process. It is important to ensure that the plants have enough sunlight, water, and nutrients to support the growth of flowers and fruit.
Once pollinated, the Cayuga Viburnum will produce red to black berries that attract birds and wildlife. The berries can also be used to make jams and jellies.
