Viburnum grandiflorum, variously called the cranberry bush, flowering viburnum, grand viburnum, and Himalayan viburnum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Viburnaceae, native to the Himalayan region.[1][2] A sparse shrub or gnarled tree reaching 2–3 m (7–10 ft), it has showy pink flowers, larger than the typical viburnum, and red to black fruit, which are edible.[3] It is hardy to USDA zone 6a.[2] The unimproved species is available from commercial suppliers, and there is a putative form, Viburnum grandiflorum f. foetens, the stinking Himalayan viburnum, and a number of cultivars, including 'De Oirsprong', 'Desmond Clarke', and 'Snow White'.[4][5][6][7][8]
