    "The glossiness, the heavy texture, and the rich red colouring of the foliage of Viburnum nudum make me glad we have it in our collection. (Yes, I'm afraid I 'collect' viburnums.) It seems a little sparse of foliage, which gives it a rather thin appearance, but when one sees the soft wine red of the foliage at this time of year it makes on feel 'it's worth it'."

    "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, June 1937.
