High Bush Cranberry
For landscape planting, it is hard to beat high bush cranberry. While not the best of our shrubs for wildlife, it is a very attractive plant and the persistant ruby-red berries are a pleasing sight throughout the winter.

Hobblebush
The plant gets its name because if the tips bend down and touch the ground, roots can form and the shrub can literally "hobble" you as you walk through the woods.
