    There are several plants that are know informally as snowball bush. If you are speaking of a viburnum, here is a run-down on diseases that sometimes affect them. Your state's county extension service is always a good resource for problems cropping up in your area. Check the website or call the office to speak to a Master Gardener.

    It can be done if you are young and strong and willing to put in the hours it will take. If time is money then buying a new plant is cheaper than transplanting. You could also start a new bush from cuttings. Viburnum often send out suckers. When you get your head under there to look around, you may find a new plant waiting for you. Digging out a suckered plant will be a piece of cake. Viburnums will also form roots where a branch touches the ground. Gently sweep the lower branches looking for one that resists lifting. Cut the connection to the main bush. I would let it be for the winter and transplant it in early spring. If there are suckers, these can be moved this fall. Trim it back and baby it through fall.

    Most viburnum are rated seldom severely damaged by deer. The exception is arrowwood, Viburnum dentatum. It is rated rarely severely damaged by deer. Let it be said that a hungry deer will eat plants normally left alone.
