Hee hee - cranberries don't grow on trees, sweetie - they grow on bushes in swamps. Muse be some other berry - choke cherry maybe? What do the leaves look like?

Anyway, our front yard right now has daylilies, and peony bush that bloomed a couple months ago, and some chrysanthemum that will bloom in the fall ... the back yard has a large maple, and several yews, ash, oak, lilac bushes, buckthorn, grape vines, and lots of Queen Anne's lace and clover and butter-n-eggs, blossoming right now, plenty of goldenrod that may bloom later in the month, and - more this year because we've been having so much rain ... moss.

But what my yard grows best, as is true of much of New England, is rocks. We are on a ledge, and the back yard is flat but then become a steep hill, and anywhere, if you did, you hit rock. Small rocks, fist-sized rocks, and ledge.
