These are the sweet, tart Cranberries you might enjoy at the Holidays, but our selection is sweeter than those found in stores. Ripe fruit keep in refrigeration for up to 9 months! The plants are pest and disease free, long lived, and slowly spread through self rooting. They are native to boggy areas and require a near constant source of moisture which can be provided by sprinkler or micro sprinkler. They ripen in November at 3000' in the Sierra. Most likely Vacciinum Macrocarpon, they are a small, evergreen shrub that creeps along the ground in thin vines then curves up, no higher than a foot, to produce beautiful, red fruit. Gathered from cranberry bogs planted sometime in the late 1800s that were left to Nature and are now the only wild, cranberry bogs West of the Mississippi! 4" pots or 1 gallon

Please Note: We do not ship potted plants individually. It is too expensive, but we will ship them when ordered with other barefoot trees. By themselves, they are only available for pick up in N. San Juan. 4"Pot

North Columbia, where this bog was discovered, is the site of the largest hydraulic, gold mining operation in history. Thousands flocked to this area for the glitter of the gold, bringing their plants from their home or homeland with them. We are fortunate that a migrating miner brought his favorite cranberry to the San Juan Ridge.
