Pruning viburnums
Watering did nothing so now I’m ready to prune my viburnums, since these poor blossoms aren’t giving me any of their lovely scent. Since I’d like the bush a little smaller, can I prune it back quite a bit without losing blooms for next year?
Thanks again for your help.

Okay, my next best guess is frost damage so go ahead and snip off the wilted tips. This is a good time of year to prune viburnums anyway so I promise you will not lose any blooms for next year and you may even convince your plant to flower again this summer. Thanks for hanging in there and reporting back your experience - we can all learn from your mystery droop. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
