its growing and growing.its being a real pain actualy. I keep getting huge leaves so I keep pruning and they just come back just as large :x ...so much for DWARF viburnum. I guess ive got some expiramenting to do. I have another one that I havent done anything to cuz they are supposed to flower and I am not sure how pruning affects it ... its all a learning process I guess
