Sizes available: #1 (Trade gallon), perhaps ready in fall, 2026

Basics: zones 2-7, 6-15' x 8-12', full sun to part shade, (will berry most abundantly with plenty of sun), a pretty lacecap of white small flowers blooms in the spring followed by bright red fruit (drupes), usually found in consistently moist soil but is adaptable.

Synonyms: Viburnum trilobum, Viburnum opulus subsp. trilobum

Common names: Highbush Cranberry, Guelder Rose, Crampbark, American Cranberry Bush, Dog Rowan, Gatten, Whitten Tree, Ople Tree, Snowball Tree, Witchhopple, Gadrise - plants.usda.gov lists 23 different common names for this plant which indicates to me both a wide distribution and a deep cultural resonance with humans. 

Family: Adoxaceae (Caprifoliaceae)

Origin/Distribution: Native to a large swath of North America from British Columbia south to Washington state and east to Newfoundland, then south to northern Virginia. This plant is rare in Pennsylvania and under threat in Indiana and Ohio. Native to Maine.

Habitat: Occurs in a variety of damp places including open woodland, pasture, thicket, and the margins of bog, marsh, lake, pond, etc. It also grows on moist, wooded slopes.

More: Highbush Cranberry is one of our many beautiful native Viburnums. It has been used medicinally and contains a strong anti-spasmodic. The fruit is harvested when slightly underripe and can be eaten raw or cooked and can be used to make sauces, jellies, juice, liquor, and wine as well as in pies. Small mammals and various birds including turkeys, grouse, robins, and cedar waxwings eat the berries, but they often remain untouched until the weather has put them through several freeze/thaw cycles. Twigs are browsed by deer, beaver, and moose. It is important to protect young specimens from browse until well established. The non-native Viburnum Leaf Beetle, Pyrrhalta viburni, will feed on our native Viburnums. The egg cases are easy to spot in the winter and can be gently scraped off the bark. This insect won't kill your plant unless the infestation is severe and on-going.

Even more: Viburnum opulus is a non-native viburnum that can cross with our native viburnums and has naturalized in parts of North America including Maine. It is challenging to distinguish this species from our native species. However, the fruit is not palatable, not harvested for human consumption, and the berries exhibit a higher toxicity. According to the Peterson Field Guide to Eastern/Central Medicinal Plants, V. opulus is a sometime garden escapee from Europe. It is also native to Northern Africa and Central Asia. The bark, leaves and fruit have a long history of medicinal use in its native range (see the Wikipedia entry for more). Our American Highbush Cranberry, which is closely related, has been used interchangeably with this species for medicinal purposes and has its own history of medicinal use in North America.

Great value, great product!
I use this as a home jewelry box - I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so it fits my needs perfectly. Its pretty lightweight and would be good for travels as well. The outside is leather-like and seems to be waterproof so far. I use the first layer for jewelery and second layer to store my hairclips and pins. I've had it for a few months and it seems to be great quality and durable! Definitely a good value as well because I've seen similar jewelry boxes sold at popular retail stores for over $30.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
