BRAND NEW variety of the very popular sweet viburnum hedging: the leaves are more slender, more glossy, and darker in colour - almost chocolate - especially in new growth. It's more compact too. Coppertop will give Photinia Red Robin a run for its money!
The breeders say it is heat and drought tolerant, and cold-hardy, once established; so test that out for yourself and let us know.
