Viburnum trilobum
American cranberrybush grows best in moist, well-drained, soils in full sun to part shade but is adaptable to various conditions.
For a hedge or a screen these shrubs should be planted 4' apart. This lovely spring bloomer also has unique leaves that turn a gorgeous purpleish-red in the fall. The added clusters of berries make this an outstanding fall specimin.
Over the winter the berries sweeten and are excellent in jams. Viburnum spp. offer important support for wildlife, serving as host plants to butterflies and moths. The berries are eaten by Cedar Waxwing and other birds. Two or three shrubs are recommended for best fruit production.
