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.

Tamarix Juniper has attractive, year round, blue-green foliage that will pop on a winter landscape. Not only does it provide winter interest, Tamarix Juniper is unique in that it does not “hug” the ground as one would expect. If you're looking for a shrub that is low maintenance, rabbit resistant, and tolerant of a variety of conditions, try Tamarix Juniper.
