Yellow Fruit Cranberrybush

As its common name implies, the yellow fruit cranberrybush viburnum is notable for its clusters of yellow fruit, which are unusual for the species. The foliage is a glossy apple green color, which also differentiates this cultivar from the species; it turns red and yellow in the fall. This cultivar was introduced in Berlin in 1910.

Viburnums are a versatile genus of multi-stemmed shrubs that are well suited to the home landscape due to their range of sizes and cultural adaptability. Some viburnums are noted for their fragrant flowers; most bear small fruit that may add visual interest. Many viburnums have attractive fall color. There are over 100 different varieties of viburnum at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
