American Highbush Cranberry
Not a true cranberry, though tart berries also ripen in the fall and can be used to make jam. Grows up to 15’ tall and 10’ wide. Dense growth habit and late-hanging berries make it a favorite of birds. Hardy to zone 2. Potted 9”-12”, requires another for pollination. Space 8’-10’ in full sun to part shade. Prefers fertile, well-drained soil, but is adaptable to a range of conditions.
Pollinators and other beneficial insects provide such important ecosystem services as controlling pest populations and pollinating our fruit trees and berry plants. In fact, there would be no fruit without them. Unfortunately, many are facing decline and need our help. Pollinator plants make great orchard companions. Not only are they beautiful, but they provide food and habitat for beneficial insects, and many are native to Vermont, thus increasing resilience in the landscape in the face of climate change.
Available for ON-FARM PICK UP only.
