Highbush Cranberry
Der botanische Name für diese Pflanze ist Viburnum trilobum. Die Pflanze kann 12 Fuß hoch werden, blüht im Mai oder Juni und trägt rote, essbare Beeren. Die Früchte reifen im Herbst und bleiben auf der Pflanze bis in den Winter hinein. Die Pflanze erhält ihren Namen, weil die sauren Früchte Cranberry ersetzen können. Highbush Cranberry wird auch Amerikanischer Cranberrybush genannt. Die Sorten 'Andrews', 'Hahs' und 'Wentworth' wurden wegen ihrer guten Fruchtproduktion ausgewählt. Der Strauch wächst wild und wird auch in Landschaften verwendet.
Die Früchte färben sich im Juli rot, sind aber erst im September oder Oktober reif. Sie werden in Marmelade und Gelee verwendet, aber große Samen müssen entfernt werden. Die Früchte sind hart, bis sie dem Frost ausgesetzt sind.
Stämme, die schwere Pflanzen tragen, müssen möglicherweise abgestützt werden. Manchmal einige der älteren Stängel ausdünnen, um die Pflanzenvitalität zu erhalten.
