Viburnum - American Cranberrybush
Viburnum - American Cranberrybush American Cranberrybush, viburnum trilobum, is a large, attractive and hardy shrub with big white flower clusters in late May, and then produces abundant scarlet berries in fall. The berries hang on into winter and provide food for birds. Dark green foliage develops an outstanding red fall color. It does best on well-drained sites with better than average moisture. Use as a specimen plant or effective in small masses and borders. American Cranberrybush is round-topped and fairly dense under cultivation, but can be poorly branched and open in native habitat. Cranberrybush Viburnum prefers a rich soil with ample moisture. It does well in full sun or shade and can become leggy and requires occasional renewal pruning to keep it in good form. It grows 10-12 feet tall and as wide and makes an excellent deciduous shrub for screening. * Berries for wildlife * Fall color
