Grow Your Own Cranberries!

In honor of Thanksgiving, we’re rolling out the iconic cranberry plant! The cranberry is an easy, low maintenance, evergreen groundcover. It yields tart berries with the classic flavor we know and love.

Cranberry plants grow to be 6-10” tall and 2-3 ft. wide at maturity. They are partially self-fertile, but you’ll have increased yields with 2 plants. Cranberry plants don’t need to be grown in bogs or flooded fields! They prefer acidic soil, some shade, but can tolerate wetter locations.

Come grab a couple cranberry plants on Saturday The Corner Farmers Market—they are $15 each, or 2 for $25.

Highbush Cranberry!

And now we’re talking about the Highbush Cranberry!

The Highbush cranberry is a native shrub with pretty white flowers in the spring. The red, tart, cranberry-like fruits ripen in the fall and the leaves show lovely fall color—of vibrant red!

The Highbush cranberry is a great wildlife plant for birds and mammals, since the berries can hang on the tree until late into winter. It’s also loved by pollinators in spring, too!

It grows to 8-15 feet at maturity and is an easy-to-grow plant to add to your edible landscape.
