Cranberry

Has anybody grown this? I've just ordered mine. It doesn't say anything about variety but I presume they're small bush, creeping type.

They are indeed, I have lots planted under my blueberries to act as ground cover and as a bonus get enough cranberries for Christmas.

Dont forget, they are acid loving plants and require ericaceous compost or acid soil to grow.

Thank you for your reply. I did read up on the archived thread on cranberry. I've come across recommendation that you can even grow them in the hanging basket. Should be interesting.

I'm sure they'll appear in the shops soon and will be loads cheaper than my bought online. Just hope mine will be bigger, established plant.

Once established, if you peg the odd branch down, it will root and you can then cut it off giving you extra plants for free.
