What are cranberries?

Cranberry plants are low-growing, usually only about 30cm tall, but they often spread and grow into a large area through underground stems. Cranberries shine with a ruby-like luster and have persistent crown-shaped calyxes.

During the fruiting season, the red cranberries, dotted with a green carpet woven by the fruit trees, make the heart leap with joy if you can see such a scene.

Cranberries are widely distributed in high latitude areas of the northern hemisphere and generally grow in areas with sparse sunlight under the forest canopy. Acidic soil is their paradise. They are particularly resistant to cold and freezing, able to withstand temperatures as low as -40℃, so their indomitable spirit can be found in the tundra zone of the polar circle.
