Viburnum trilobum is our native "Highbush Cranberry". Although not related to the true cranberry at all, its fruit is often used to make preserves with similar characteristics. This handsome shrub deserves a place in more gardens. Lacy white flat flower heads stand out vividly against the rich green maple-like leaves in spring. Each flower head is composed of a ring of large white sterile florets, surrounding many tiny white fertile flowers. Luscious pendant clusters of edible red berries are mature in late summer, hanging on the shrubs into the winter, providing a welcome food source for wild birds.
