I have one.  The fruit is bitter.  These are very thirsty plants, hard to give them enough water in a drought.  I would encourage you not to plant one, unless you live in a swamp.

Subject: [NAFEX] Seeking Highbush Cranberry Knowledge

>    Some references call it Viburnum trilobum, others V. 
opulus.  Some stands of it have bitter fruit.  Some are sweet(ish) and 
others smell like dirty socks.  Am I experiencing different 
varieties?  Are the differences environmental?  Highbush Cranberry is 
becoming a popular landscape tree and there are likely more folks who are asking 
the same questions.  Others and I are trying to make a palatable jelly with 
it.  What has been your experience?
