Leave a Comment /

Viburnum trilobum is a herb/shrub in the Adoxaceae family. A native to North America. Some familiar names include cranberry bush viburnum, American cranberry bush, high bush cranberry, or highbush cranberry. It is closely related to Viburnum opulus and is often treated as a variety of it. It can grow to 12 feet tall. The bark is gray, while the twigs are red. The leaves are broad and round, around 3-4 inches, and will turn orange-red in the Fall. The white flowers are 5 inches in diameter and are displayed in a ring with several sterile flowers around an inch. The fruits are edible and contain Vitamin C. They do have a taste similar to cranberries but are not cranberries at all. It prefers to grow in full sun to part shade with average water needs. Birds, bees, and butterflies visit it. Zones 2-7 Germination Soak seeds for 24 hours. Mix seeds and soil and moisten the mix slightly in a ziplock bag. Write the name of the seed on the bag. Place in the refrigerator for 60 days. Seed should be sown into well-drained, sandy compost and covered to their own depth with sand or grit. Place the seed tray in a filtered light spot and kept moist. Seeds germinate very slowly regardless of when they are sown. Some seeds may take more than a year to germinate.

It is a deciduous shrub with a rounded, upright spreading and sometimes arching habit. It typically grows to 10 to 15 feet tall. The leaves are three lobed, maple-like, shiny dark green turning an attractive yellow red or reddish purple in the fall. In spring it features an outer ring of 3/4 inch white sterile flowers surrounding the fertile but inconspicuous inner flowers, in a 3 inch flat-topped cluster.

It has beautiful flowers, delicious fruit, & wonderful foliage. The white 3 – 5” clusters of flowers will bloom in the spring for nearly a month putting on a lovely show. It is a larval host plant for the Spring Azure butterfly, whose photo I have included above because they too are beautiful. By August, the flowers will have become showy red berries that are very ornamental, & they will often stay on into the winter, adding some color to the landscape. Birds & other woodland creatures love to eat the berries, making this a wonderful choice for wildlife gardens. The berried branches are also used in holiday décor like wreaths & garlands. Although they are called a “Cranberry”, the fruit is not actually a cranberry. At least not “that cranberry”. They are called so because their red berries have the same appearance, similar taste, & mature at the same time of year. The fruit of Viburnum Trilobum grows in clusters, & each berry measures about 1/3” wide. They can be enjoyed fresh (raw), made into jellies, sauces, or in any way you would use a cranberry. They are tart without being bitter, & are high in Vitamin C. The Highbush Cranberry has interesting patterned scaly bark with arching branches that are a reddish brown tone. Its leaves are similar to those of a maple, & they turn out in great fall colors ranging from yellows & peaches to reds & purples. This shrub is very cold hardy, & is perennial all the way down to Zone 2. They prefer moist soil, but can tolerate soil that is sandy or heavy clay. These shrubs grow about 3’ a year. They make a wonderful specimen plant, look wonderful in groups, & can make an effective border or screen.
