Highbush Cranberry vs Robert Chokecherry
Prunus virginiana Robert
Viburnum opulus var. americanum (trilobum)
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
Developed in Barrhead, Alberta, the Robert Chokecherry produces very large berries (comparable to the size of grapes) with good yield.
The berries can be used for wine, jams, jellies and fresh picking, making it one of the sweeter chokecherries. Rich, red foliage make it a striking landscape addition.
Highbush Cranberry produces attractive white flowers in late June and bears edible fruit that matures to a bright red colour in the late summer.
This shrub, native to much of Canada, is fast growing, and its fruit can be eaten raw or cooked into a sauce.
