Cranberry Vaccinium Macrocarpon.  Considered as a superfood, due to their high nutritional content and wide-ranging health benefits. Rich in vitamins C, A and K as well as flavonoids, which will help lower the risk of heart problems. They outrank almost any other fruit and vegetable (including spinach and broccoli due to their antioxidants.  A popular remedy for cystitis.  Contributes to good cholesterol and can help lower blood pressure.  Low in calories, fat and sodium.

Cranberries require a sunny site and will thrive beside a river or pond.  Can also be easily grown in pots. Tolerant of frost, likes sun or semi-shade and is happy in most soil types but best in rich, loamy soil.

Cranberries should start to fruit from their third year. Ready to harvest from September and picked before the first frost.  Birds are their only problem but can be easily netted to protect them. You don’t need to prune your cranberry plant for the first couple of years, apart from removing any dead, diseased or damaged stems or twigs. In the third year, you can cut back any stems (or runners) that grow too long.

All our stock if “lifted” to order, which means that they are “lifted” and packed the same day and sent off so delivery is made the following day hence you receive them as fresh as possible. They are well packed and they are able to stay in the bags they arrive in for up to 7/10 days out of any frosts but it is advisable to plant bareroot trees as soon as possible. We are able to give you a suitable delivery date after the order has been placed when we email your order of acknowledgement to you. Unlike other nurseries who usually say within 3-5 days we can give you a definite day.

As soon as we receive your order we can usually send these out within the week. We use a courier and a signature will be required UNLESS you inform us (in the comments box) of where you would like your goods left safely should you not be at home. It is possible to select a day (apart from week-ends and Fridays) when ordering.
