It’s not a true Cranberry Bush, but the American Cranberrybush Viburnum, also known as the Highbush Cranberry, does sport clusters of similar-looking, succulent red fruits. Like cranberries, its fruits are high in vitamin C, but they’re sour, and taste much better in jellies and sauces. Bird-lovers will want to leave the berries on the plant for the robins, cardinals, bluebirds, and Cedar Waxwings to enjoy. Birds will also forage on the caterpillars that American Cranberrybush sustains. Many of these caterpillars—if they escape the birds—become wonderful adults that you’ll want in your garden. The spring azure butterfly is one, and the hummingbird clearwing moth is another.
