The American Cranberry Bush
American Cranberrybush (Viburnum trilobum) A deciduous shrub
from the Honeysuckle Family (Caprifoliaceae), American
Cranberrybush is commonly found throughout the northern tier of
states in the United States. In these locations, it is a
resident of open, wet woodlands and beside streams and some
other bodies of water. I plant it in wet clay soils that are
hard to use in growing other plants. It has an outer row of
showy, sterile flowers resembling Hydrangeas. The flowers have a
slight musty odor to me but are not offensive. Also known as
Highbush Cranberry ( because of its bright red fruits that are
clusted), this shrub has strong stems and thick branches, and
may reach 12 feet tall by 12 feet wide when found in the open,
with an arching growth habit at maturity that leaves the center
of the plant devoid of branches. This shrub can be cut back hard
and recovers quickly. We cut our specimen plant every 3-4 years
and cut them back hard. We have sometimes used chainsaw to do
the pruning quickly New landscape cultivars of this species have
a much more compact and dense growth habit. As a member of the
Honeysuckle Family, it is
related to the Honeysuckles,
Elderberries, Weigelas, and the many other Viburnums. Viburnums
have been cultivated by man for thousands of years and this
particular variety is my favorite for fast growing and easy to
cultivate plants. If you have had trouble growing other plants
in your landscape, this is a plant that will not fail for you.
Planting Requirements - American Cranberrybush prefers moist to
wet soils of rich or average composition, and of acidic pH.
However, it tolerates dry soils of acidic, neutral, or alkaline
pH reasonably well. It loves full sun to partial sun, and
performs well in partial shade to full shade, although its
growth habit will be much more sparce. It habitat range is found
in zones 2 to 7. We always have in stock a large selection of
this viburnum. Our availibility in sizes ranges from seedlings
and liners to 4-5' shrubs B&B ready to pickup. Most buyers like
a multi stemmed plant that is 4' in height. You can see pictures
of these plants at our web site
