Why are my viburnum berries falling off prematurely?

Our Advice:

Premature berry drop in viburnums can be caused by several factors. One possibility is that the plant is not getting enough water or nutrients, or is experiencing environmental stress such as drought or excessive heat. Another possible cause is a lack of pollination, which can cause the plant to drop its berries before they have a chance to mature. Pests such as aphids or spider mites can also cause premature berry drop. Ensure that your plant is getting adequate water and nutrients, and address any pest or pollination issues as needed.
