acne AMERICANUM (American Highbush Cranberry) 
Thisis what the University of Wisconsin says about it. ‘*The American 
Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum Americanum) is bound to come into 
greater prominence than it is at the present time. As an ornamental 
Shrub, it stands at the top of the ladder. In the spring it is covered 
“with showy white cymes of flowers; then in the fall and long into_the 
Winter the shrub makes itself known by its scarlet, translucent fruit. 
Besides being beautiful, the fruit of the American Highbush Cranberry 
has another property that is not as well known as it should be. That is, 
it is eatable. It makes very good jelly alone or with other less tart 
fruits such as apples or peaches. It is very cosmopolitan, growing in 
all types of soils and will do well in either sun, part sun or shade. When 
ordering Highbush cranberry be sure you get Viburnum Americanum 
instead of Viburnum opulus which is the European variety. The fruit 
of the latter is not eatable, having a bitter quinine taste.
