Yes. They are called highbush cranberry and other names. I have several growing in the woods behind my home in Maine.

My husband and I are doing research on these berries to learn more about them.

Why do grasses and weeds appear before trees and shrubs?
That their roots tend to be fibrous and that they mature to a lower height are reasons why shrubs grow before trees.
Specifically, shrubs tend to have fibrous roots that grow closer to the surface and that work their way into air and moisture pore spaces in the soil. This permits shrubs to access available moisture and nutrients shortly after their entry into the soil. This means that shrubs tend to access what they need for growth before trees do. Additionally, shrubs have lower requirements in terms of mature size. Shrub heights below 30 feet (9.14 meters) are reached sooner than those above that level, which is the bottom range in mature sizes for trees.

Are bonsai tree's Chinese or Japanese?
It is both. But, the roots of Bonsai do emerge from the Chinese, and their version of Bonsai was Penjing. (The e in Penjing is pronounced like the u in urban) The art of it dates back to at least 800 years ago, when Buddhist monks from China had handed a miniature plant in a pot to the Japanese as a gift for a certain good deed they had done. The Japanese had shaped, pruned wired and dramatically changed Penjing over the years through culture and inspiration of the people.
To answer your question in a simple version, it is both Chinese and Japanese. Bonsai is quite different in a way to the Penjing that we know today, and thorough out Bonsai have emerged new styles of miniature trees, and new techniques, but this wouldn't have been made possible without Penjing.
