Green Alder vs Lowbush CranberryAlnus crispa Viburnum edule SOLD OUT (new stock expected: later this season) NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
Green Alder is a cold hardy, native shrub. It is often planted on infertile sites so it can fix nitrogen from the air and improve the soil quality. Lowbush Cranberry is a short, deciduous shrub native to North America. Its white flowers bear sour but edible fruit that ripens to a brilliant red in fall. Lowbush Cranberry's small size makes it suitable for urban use; buyers will also find it useful if trying to reclaim land back to its original species or when landscaping with native species in damp conditions.
