Why are my viburnum berries not forming?

Our Advice:

The lack of berry formation in viburnums may be due to several factors. One possibility is that the plant is not getting enough sunlight or water. Another possible cause is a lack of pollination, as viburnums require cross-pollination from another plant of the same species to produce berries. Alternatively, if your viburnum is a cultivar that has been bred for ornamental purposes, it may not produce berries at all. Ensure that your plant is getting adequate water and sunlight, and consider planting another viburnum nearby to ensure cross-pollination.
