About Cranberry
Cranberries are low-growing evergreen vines that need acidic, consistently wet soil — a speciality crop for the dedicated gardener, not a casual backyard plant.
Grow in acidic, peat-rich soil kept consistently moist. Cranberries tolerate frost and thrive in cool climates. Plants crop in 2-3 years.
Gardening in Manitoba
Manitoba has a cold continental climate. Winnipeg is Zone 3b-4a. Cold winters and hot summers make for an intense but short growing season. Excellent for sunflowers, canola, and cool-season vegetables.
