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 Utah
Utah has an arid continental climate. Salt Lake City is Zone 6b-7a; southern Utah is Zone 7-8; mountains are Zone 4-5. Low humidity and alkaline soils require irrigation and soil amendment.
