We have several high bush cranberry bushes on our property here in  
Hall's Harbour.
One that tops 5 feet regularly attracts Ruffed Grouse who do a high- 
wire act when
they haul their bulk up the slender stalks to reach high hanging fruit.

The bush laburnum trilobum is native, although Durr tells us it is  
found in New
Brunswick (and many other places) but doesn't mention Nova Scotia.
