Re: High Bush Cranberry

Hi, Laura,
Here in Plattsburgh, and in fact, in the adirondacks, High bush cranberry
grows great.  Mine has medimum green maple-like leaves which turn very red
in the fall.  The lipstick red fruit persists for most of the winter and
is usually eaten in Feb/Mar by birds who resisted the fruit's bitter taste
all winter. ( I hear it makes good jam, tho)  Other than aphids I cant
find any insects or disease on it.  It likes full to most sun.  Mine is 4
years old and 7 feet high and 4 across.  Nice and dense for screening.
Any Ques? just email me.
