Hi Ron,
This particular Viburnum can be planted in most soils - preferring a
light alkaline content, but not necessary. It will actually grow in
moderate shade, but is best in either dappled shade or full light. I
would not plant it just for a 'noise filter' for it would need to be
in a shelter belt some several metres wide to have any real effect at
filtering traffic noise. And in any event - not being an evergreen -
you would lose even the miniscule effect of noise reduction in the
winter months!!! The big PLUS though, is that it has great autumn/fall
colours ranging from yellows to reds depending upon soil types. Hope
this helps
Regards
