To assess the sustainability of wild-harvesting edible fruit from native Viburnum species [highbush cranberry (Viburnum opulus var. americanum), northern wild raisin (V. cassinoides var. nudum), and squashberry (V. edule)] in Newfoundland (Canada), plant density, fruit abundance and impact of moose browsing on growth were assessed.
