American Cranberry Bush
used as a hedge.
|
This is an excellent deciduous shrub for screening up to 10 to 12 ft.
high. It grows to a width of 8 ft. with very dense growth of up to 3 feet
per year in full sun or part shade. The American Cranberry Bush has showy
white flowers in spring followed by red berries in fall and winter. These
berries hang through mid winter, making excellent bird feed. This shrub
has very few insect problems and prefers good, well-drained soil. For best
growth, provide supplemental water during drought periods. For a solid
screen, plant bushes 2 to 3 ft. apart.
