Sizes available: 2 quart

Basics: zones 4-8, 4-8" x 12-18" (will spread in optimal conditions), full sun to part shade, light pink blooms in late spring to early summer, edible red berries follow in the fall, new leaves emerge red and also exhibit shades of red as the season cools, needs acidic soil and consistent moisture to do well, but does not need to be planted in a bog.

Common names: Large Cranberry, American Cranberry, Bearberry

Family: Ericaceae

Origin/Distribution: Newfoundland to Manitoba, south to Virginia, Ohio, northern Illinois, and mountainous areas into North Carolina and Tennessee. Is an escapee in other parts on North America and has also naturalized in parts of Europe. Native to Maine.

Habitat: cool, acidic, wet, boggy, periodically inundated soils, also coastal areas

More: Vaccinium macrocarpon is a very low-growing mat-forming shrub with petite, glossy leaves. Deer and rabbit resistant and salt-tolerant. Adaptable to less-than-cranberry-bog conditions. I have neglected some in small pots for a few seasons and they are astonishing me with their adaptable aplomb. The large red fruits are eaten by some birds and small mammals. Also enjoyed by humans usually with added sweetener to make jelly, sauce, or juice. Used dried or fresh in muffins or pastries and as an addition to granola. Has been used medicinally. Larval host for the Bog Copper butterfly, Lycaena epixanthe, which is native to Maine, but probably won't show up unless you have a bog.

If you have less than ideal conditions, how about a bog planting in a large container? Pitcher plant, Cranberry, one or two Carex that like it wet, Bogbean, etc. That sounds fun. If I try it I will let you know.

Dogs love them
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2)
Our dogs love these. What’s great is that you can add more plastic (like from water bottles) if the plastic starts to fall out from the center. If you have a chewer, though, these won’t last you long. Our shepherd mix loves these and then starts to pull the rubber apart the more she plays with it. Our other dogs treat it normally, though, and those ones last forever. They also get some decent height when bounced, and they make a unique whistling noise when thrown.

Our pup loves the cronch cronch!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I bought our 15 month old Coton several Chuck-It toys on an Amazon deal. He is incredibly playful, mischievous, and ball/toy obsessed, especially for anything that makes noise. He can also be very destructive so I love how durable most of their products are - they’re among our longest lasting toys and worth every penny. We have yet to take them to the dog park, but they’re a perfect size for sharing in play time. And they are keeping him busy at home - that’s a good thing. He loves investigating the crunchy-cronchy-crinkly sound which is a nice change from squeakers. It can withstand his destructive chewing well-being, gentle on his little teeth. I love that. Chuck-It is thinking outside the box with a variety of balls to keep dogs engaged! I do worry about the crinkle plastic inside because it is accessible because of the air holes and it feels a little sharp. So this will have to be an at home toy so we can monitor his play.
