Highbush Cranberry is a native multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a dense round-spreading habit. Its 3-lobed dark green maple-like foliage turns an attractive purple-red in fall. Large flat-topped clusters of white flowers bloom in spring and are followed by drooping clusters of bright red cranberry like drupes. Flowers best in consistently moist well-drained soils. Syn. with Viburnum trilobum.
