Viburnum trilobum
Common Name: American Highbush Cranberry
American Highbush Cranberry is a large, multi-stemmed shrub that grows 8 to 15 feet tall. Native to wet thickets, woodland edges, and streambanks, it features showy white flower clusters in late spring and bright red berries in fall that persist into winter. Its maple-like leaves provide attractive fall color. Although the berries are tart, they are sometimes used in jams and attract wildlife. It is a strong choice for hedgerows, rain gardens, and wetland buffer zones.
