Alfredo American Cranberry

Alfredo is a compact, dense selection of American cranberrybush viburnum, with lobed green leaves, lightly fragrant white flower clusters in late spring, red fruit, and vivid fall foliage. Bailey Nurseries lists a mature size of about 5 to 6 feet tall and wide and USDA Zones 2–7; it describes Alfredo as denser and slightly broader than ‘Compactum’. [Bailey Nurseries](https://shop.baileynurseries.com/Product/Detail/0863) · [Miller Nursery](https://millernursery.com/encyclopedia/viburnum-trilobum-alfredo/) ## Landscape Use Plant it as a foundation shrub, perimeter accent, or low screen where its rounded form has room to fill out. Full sun supports a dense habit, while spring flowers and bright autumn leaves extend interest across the growing season. Its red berries also provide a late-season food source for birds.

Thin selectively when needed and retain older stems, since spring flowers form on older wood; avoid cutting the whole shrub back each year.
