Each bundle contains 25 seedlings.
Scientific Name: Viburnum trilobum
Mature Height: 8-15 ft.
Mature Spread: 8-12 ft.
Hardiness: Zones 2-7
Soil: Prefers average, well drained soils with consistent moisture, but tolerates a wide range of soils including cool moist woodlands, streambanks, soggy thickets and roadside ditches.
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Growth Rate: Moderate
Additional Information: This hardy shrub with dark green leaves is actually not a cranberry at all, though its fruit (drupes) strongly resemble cranberries in appearance and taste. White flowers in spring turn into clusters of bright red berries in August; the berries persist during winter to feed wildlife when other food is scarce. Fruit is very tart, but rich in vitamin C and makes excellent jams, jellies, sauces and syrups. Plant in multiples for ample fruiting.
Estimated Seedling Size: 1-year-old seedlings, 12-18”
