Viburnum #931982

Asked May 17, 2026, 2:46 PM EDT

Have a Blue Muffin Viburnum. Want to plant Autumn Jazz to cross polinate. Would distance of 81' be to far for cross pollination?

Baltimore County Maryland

Expert Response

We don't have information about how far is too far, but that's probably a suitable distance since the insects doing the pollination are likely flying much further than that.
