What customers say
Customers highly praise the exceptional quality and immediate vigor of the bare-root cranberry plants received. The stock arrives robust and well-packaged, indicating high viability. The core theme is product quality, which is rated premium. However, success is strongly linked to meeting the demanding cultural requirements of cranberries, specifically maintaining highly acidic soil and consistent moisture. Experienced growers who replicate bog like conditions report excellent establishment. Negative feedback usually stems from environmental factors, not the plant material itself. Customers value the detailed growing instructions provided, which aids in managing the specialized care needed for this unique fruit.
