Highbush Cranberry vs Purple Leaf Sand CherryViburnum trilobum Prunus x cistena SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2018) ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
Highbush Cranberry produces attractive white flowers in late June and bears edible fruit that matures to a bright red colour in the late summer. The Purple Leaf Sandcherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. The Purple leaf sand cherry is susceptible to pests and diseases; a typical life span is approximately 10 - 15 years. Not suitable for a privacy hedge but good as an accent plant that attracts birds and bees. HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
