Highbush Cranberry, Viburnum trilobum, is a deciduous shrub growing to 3 - 5 m tall. Leaves are opposite, serrated, and tri-lobed, somewhat resembling those of a maple tree. Plants begin to produce fruit at approximately five years of age, which are eaten by animals and birds. Although not a favourite food for birds they are vital for winter survival. They do not grow cranberries but are a part of the honeysuckle family. They grow best in wet, acidic soils, often near bogs and swamps.
