A hybrid between Viburnum davidii and D. calvum, arising originally from adjacent parents growing at Hillier’s West Hill Nursery in Winchester, UK, in 1964 (Edwards & Marshall 2019). The habit is intermediate beyween its parents, but the only clone that has achieved any sort of circulation is the densely rounded ‘Jermyns Globe’.


'Jermyn's Globe'

Selected as the best from the original batch of seedlings raised by Hillier Nurseries in 1964, forming a rounded, compact dome (Edwards & Marshall 2019).
