American Cranberrybush

Honeybees actively forage on the flat-topped white flower clusters for abundant nectar and moderate pollen supplies during late spring, with peak bloom typically in May and June in temperate zones. This deciduous shrub prefers moist, well-drained soils in partial shade to full sun and can reach 8-12 feet tall, offering early-season support for building colonies. It is susceptible to deer browsing and may need pruning to maintain shape and encourage flowering.
