The pretty glistening red fruit of the high-bush cranberry. It looks similar to that of the non-native vine, deadly nightshade. Although this shrub is touted as a good food source for birds, we find that few birds or animals eat the fruit. It may be that the shrubs we have are cultivars, grown for their lack of appeal to wildlife, ensuring the fruit stays on all winter. But I don't really know.
