but I googled and there are cranberry bushes, not trees, but the only ones I have saw grew in a bog...... so I guess I shouldn't be picky. But feature this I have lived on a farm all my life and I'm playing Farm Town......go figure. lol
The high bush cranberry isn't the one used commercially in making juice, jelly or preserves. However, it is edible and was a fruit used my Native American Indians as well as EuroAmerican explorers and pioneers. I believe it is still picked and used in home cooking in Alaska and in other Northern regions and Western US mountain areas.
