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.
