The Highbush Cranberry is a large, deciduous North American shrub known for its attractive white spring flowers, lobed maple-like leaves, and clusters of bright red, tart berries that persist into winter. It is a very hardy, attractive shrub that can grow to 8-12 feet tall, making it ideal for landscaping, year-round color, and use as a privacy hedge. The vibrant scarlet berries are high in Vitamin C, antioxidants, anthocyanins, and offer many culinary uses in jams, jellies and sauces due to its high pectin content.
