Cranberry. Also known as cranberry, is a small evergreen shrub in the genus Rhododendron, dwarf cranberry plants, the whole looks like a crane, flowers like the head and beak of the crane, so cranberries are also known as "crane berry". Native to the alpine wetlands of North America, the production area is concentrated in the northern region of the United States, New Jersey, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin and other states.

The main production areas of cranberries in China's Heilongjiang Province, Canada's Columbia State and the United States of America to dig open Wisconsin, etc., of which Fuyuan City, Heilongjiang Province, is the largest cranberry planting areas in Asia, and the United States of America, Wisconsin, Wisconsin region of the cranberry production accounted for 46% of the world. Cranberries mainly grow in the northern hemisphere in the cool envy do zone acidic peat soil.

Cranberry planting conditions

1, many varieties of cranberries are cold-resistant, like wet, strongly acidic soil, its planting more in the wetland conditions to build the garden.

2, the cranberry orchard should have enough water for frost control, replenishment of excessive soil moisture evaporation and cranberry fruit harvesting. The pH of water harvesting irrigation water should be less than 6, and the pH of the soil should preferably be 4.0~5.5. Water sources include lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, etc. The reservoirs built should store enough water to supply the growth of cranberries.

3, because cranberries are evergreen and semi-evergreen plants, so when planting cranberries in the cold northern regions, the main thing to consider is the two factors of cold resistance and frost damage. Winter snow less, windy dry areas are not suitable for the development of cranberries; late frost frequent areas, such as the four sides around the valley in the planting of cranberries are prone to frost damage during the flowering period, should be avoided as far as possible.
