Melbourne AustraliaQ.Viburnum Snowball Flowers Toxic To Dogs?
My dog was vomiting all day and night and we couldn’t figure out why. When she felt better I let her outside again and I noticed her eating the Snowball Verbernum white little flowers that had fallen from bush. Have you heard of the flowers being toxic to dogs?

Certified ExpertA.Well, it isn't generally listed as a toxin to dogs, but there are exceptions. Some cultivars produce salicin which concert into aspirin when it comes into contact with stomach acid.
This, in large amounts, may cause a bit of upset. As far as being dangerous- it isn't, really.
Here is an article that will help you to care for the shrubs:

North East EnglandQ.Pruning Viburnum Bodnentanse
My viburnum has flowers on well into December and I'm loath to prune it until they have fallen off. But then there are loads of buds into the Spring, I'm loath to prune it then. It's a shame to lose the flowers early but is that the best option for pruning? It's getting a little out of hand and is almost at the roof line of the two storey house I live in.

Certified ExpertA.Wait till it has finished blooming in the spring. Pune by cutting out 1 in 5 canes each year, starting with the oldest canes. If it needs rejuvenation pruning, you can cut it almost to the ground. If you are loathe to go to that extreme, cut out 1 in 3 canes each year for three years, or until all canes have been replaced.

December 7, 2020Q.Leaves Are Turning Brown On Plant (Viburnum Odoratissimum)
we just bought a plant (viburnum) and re-potted it in a large 50cm pot with about 60 litres of additional potting mix.
We have given it plenty of water (pot drains well), sunny position but the leaves are turning brown.
What can we do?

Certified ExpertA.My first thought is that perhaps your new pot is too large. You should only go up one or two pot sizes when repotting any plant. I don't know what size your plant is, but perhaps it doesn't like having too much room. There could also be other issues that are covered in these articles:

April 23, 2021Q.My Queries Regrading The Flowering Of A Vibernum Bush
We planted a Vibernum about 7 years ago but the last two years it hasn't really flowered properly. We now get very few of what we would call 'proper' flowers ( photo 1 ) which are beautifully perfumed the vast majority just being a type of 'bloom' that seems to never mature ( photo 2) or have any perfume - what causes this please and can we remedy it ? Thank you for your help

Certified ExpertA.While some viburnum are edible, this one is not. Viburnum dilatatum is one on the "mildly toxic" list, unfortunately.
