The 'Redwing' highbush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum 'J.N. Select') is a popular and very hardy deciduous shrub, specifically chosen for prairie landscapes like Saskatchewan due to its exceptional multi-season interest and resilience in cold climates (Zone 2a). It is known for its beautiful brick-red new growth, stunning crimson fall color, and abundant edible berries.
Foliage: Leaves emerge a brick-red color in the spring before maturing to a dark green in the summer. The fall color is a highly ornamental, brilliant burgundy or crimson, providing a spectacular display.
Flowers: Flat-topped clusters of lacy white "lacecap" flowers appear in late spring, attracting pollinators like butterflies and bees.
Fruit: Large, bright red berry clusters appear in late summer and persist through winter, offering visual appeal and a food source for birds. The berries are edible for humans but have a tart, sour flavor, typically used for jams, jellies, and preserves.
Size & Form: It has a dense, multi-stemmed, upright-spreading habit of growth, typically maturing to a height of 8–10 feet (2.5–3 m) and a spread of 5–7 feet (1.5–2.1 m).
Hardiness: Extremely cold-hardy, thriving in USDA Hardiness Zones 2 to 7.
Light & Soil: Adaptable and grows well in full sun to partial shade, though full sun produces the best fruit set and fall color. It tolerates a wide range of soils, including clay and moist-to-wet areas.
Maintenance: A low-maintenance shrub that is resistant to deer and urban pollution. Pruning should be done after flowering to avoid removing the current season's flowers.
