Highbush Cranberry vs Alpine CurrantViburnum trilobum Ribes alpinum SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
Highbush Cranberry produces attractive white flowers in late June and bears edible fruit that matures to a bright red colour in the late summer.
Alpine Currant is a great shrub to plant along sidewalks, near building or at your property boundary as a hedge or accent species. It is widely used by commercial landscapers in parking lots and near buildings because of its hardiness, attractiveness, and pollution tolerance.
