Viburnum trilobum 'Wentworth®'

American cranberrybush viburnum

Selected in the early 1900's for its heavy fruit set. Yellow-red fruits become a brilliant scarlet-red and are not only very attractive, but good for making preserves. Fruits are slightly earlier ripening than other trilobums. Grows 3- 3,5 m tall and wide. May have the best red fall color of any American cranberry. 'Wentworth' Viburnum is unusually beautiful with its soft maple-like leaves, producing white lacecap flowers mid-May to mid-June, followed by bunches of shiny bright red berries by August, which are larger, redder and longer lasting than on the native species.
