{"title":"Cranberries","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCranberry Plants (Vaccinium macroparon)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCranberries or Vaccinium macroparon are unique fruits.  They are one of three native fruits to North America.  Cranberries grow on low lying vines like strawberry plants.  These beds are commonly known as bogs or beds layered with sand, peat, gravel and clay.  Their trailing stems should be buried and will root over time.  If your garden grows rhododendrons or other acid loving plants, then cranberries should succeed.  Cranberries are full of flavour and chock-a-block with all those essential ingredients for a long and healthy life.  They can be eaten fresh from the plant, used in scones, and cakes, juices, jams or dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eNever let the cranberry plants dry out, but do not waterlog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFeed during growing season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eHarvest from September to mid-October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScotPlants Direct offer two of the easy and best cranberry varieties: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePilgrim\u003c\/strong\u003e which is ideal for container growing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarly Black\u003c\/strong\u003e for early harvest of fruit, ideal fruit for sauces and baking. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSelect your cranberry plant now and be ahead of anyone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCranberries are VAT FREE!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vaccinium-macrocarpa-early-black-pot-grown","title":"Cranberry Plant Early Black Vaccinium macrocarpon","description":"\u003ch3\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCranberries can be eaten fresh from the plant, used in scones and cakes,  juices, jams or dried  Cranberry Early Black bush is an evergreen bush with a spreading habit.  The fruit is large, and dark red, medium sweet and juicy.  Fruiting season is from mid-late August.  Easy to grow and enjoy.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant full sun to partial shade, well draining soil.
