There are two varieties of Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) out
there. One is so bitter that no amount of sugar can make it palatable and
the other become pleasant tasting after it is frozen once of oftener
although some folks enjoy them before they freeze. Unfortunately, the
bitter variety is being marketed as a landscape plant whose taste fives the
whole species a bad name. Visually, there are no characteristics that
separate the two.
