cranberry bushes

[Normans Mum]

Hi

Have recently purchased 2 cranberry bushes, which I intend to pot up this weekend
I know that they need ericacious compost. Other than that, are they easy to look after? Pots will be going in my fruit cage which is fairly sheltered.
Presuming that they take off, what sort of fruiting do you get from them and do they need pruning ?
Any advice welcome

I bought a couple last year and have them in ericaceous compost in pots as well, mulched with pine needles. They're in a somewhat sheltered spot south-facing spot. I only got one flower and no fruit last year, but they've grown like gangbusters despite complete and utter neglect on my part (seriously, I don't think I even watered them after the initial potting. not that watering was a problem last year...). So here's hoping for this year.

Well.... We'll see how we get on this year, eh?
