Lowbush Cranberry vs Northern Red CurrantViburnum edule Ribes triste COMING SOON COMING SOON 
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.
The Northern Red Currant is also known as the Swamp Red currant due to its preference for moist soil. As long as the soil is wet, this shrub can live in any degree of sunlight. LOWBUSH CRANBERRY QUICK FACTSNORTHERN RED CURRANT QUICK FACTS
