Viburnum edule
Squashberry (Viburnum edule) is a hardy native shrub that performs best in part shade with moist, organically rich soil, making it ideal for woodland edges and rain gardens. It produces small white flower clusters in spring followed by tart red berries that are edible and attract birds. Minimal pruning is needed; simply remove dead or crossing branches after flowering.
