Viburnum trilobum 'Spring Red Compact'

Another compact selection of American cranberry from McKay Nursery.  Somewhat upright in habit while young but maturing compact, rounded and 5'.  The plant is a mass of red foliage in the spring which matures to green by summer.  We have experienced little to no fruit even though ample pollinators are located nearby.  Fall foliage is a good red-orange.  Zone 3
