Highbush Cranberry

Viburnum trilobum (Highbush Cranberry) is a hardy, native North American shrub valued for its ornamental beauty and seasonal interest. Growing 2–4 metres tall with a broad, arching habit, it features distinctive three-lobed dark green leaves that turn vibrant red in fall. In early summer, it produces flat clusters of white flowers, followed by bright, glossy red berries (pimbina) that persist into the season and attract birds and wildlife. Naturally found in moist environments such as forest edges and wetlands, it is exceptionally cold-hardy to zone 2b and adapts well to a variety of conditions. Ideal for naturalized plantings, hedges, or wildlife gardens, it offers year-round interest with flowers, fruit, and striking fall colour.
