Viburnum trilobum
Viburnum trilobum, commonly known as American cranberrybush viburnum, is an extremely hardy native deciduous shrub, valued for its spring blooms, decorative fruit, and remarkable autumn foliage color. It develops a dense, bushy habit, generally wider than tall with age, forming a structured mass ideal for country hedges, naturalistic plantings, and biodiversity-friendly landscapes. In spring, abundant clusters of white flowers appear, attracting pollinators. These are followed by persistent clusters of bright red berries in autumn, highly appreciated by birds. Its medium green foliage turns brilliant red in autumn, enhancing its seasonal appeal. Adapted to well-drained soils and tolerant of various conditions, Viburnum trilobum is an excellent choice for sustainable northern gardens.
