'Emerald Triumph' is a cross between Viburnum ' Allegheny' and V. burejaeticum and is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. This cultivar tolerates clay soils better than other viburnums. It has a compact habit reaching a mature size of 6'-8' tall and wide. In spring showy clusters of creamy white flowers appear and are followed by red drupes that turn black in fall. Fruit production is better if other viburnums are nearby. Plant in well-drained clay to sandy loams in full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist soil but is somewhat drought tolerant once established. Use this shrub as a foundation plant, in shrub borders, as a hedge, a specimen or in groups. Butterflies are attracted to the flowers and birds will eat the drupes in winter once they have softened by a freeze-thaw cycle.
