  • Vaccinium Macrocarpon Ait. Family: Ericaceae
    Cultivation Notes No. 54 THE RHODE ISLAND WILD PLANT SOCIETY Winter 2011 Cranberry – Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait. Family: Ericaceae Cranberry: a Native Jewel By Linda Lapin Cranberries are indispensable for the winter holidays. Tradition brings them to our holiday turkey dinners, and who doesn't have a linen table cloth with at least a little red stain on it from a wayward serving of cranberry sauce? This Rhode Island native berry may be a little smaller than the commercially grown cranberry varieties but is just as tasty when used in sauces, jellies, sweet breads, pies and stuffings. Cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, grows wild in Rhode Island. Its native range extends from the East Coast to the Central U. S. and Canada, and from Southern Canada in the north to the Appalachians in the south. It is usually found in acid bogs growing in sphagnum along with other ericaceae such as highbush blueberry and black huckleberry. It grows in company with sheep laurel, leatherleaf, pitcher plants, sundews, and saplings of white cedar and red maple. Look for it in the Great Swamp or Diamond Bog. Cranberry was once called crane berry, because the flower resembles the look of a crane’s head and neck with a long sharp beak. Cranes were also observed wading the bogs gobbling up the berries. Other common names are black cranberry, low cranberry, trailing swamp cranberry, bear berry, and bounce berry. (Cranberries really are the best bouncing fruit I know.) A related species is small cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus), which is even smaller and cuter. The plant is a low-growing, evergreen perennial with trailing, wiry stems.

Many colonists were already familiar with this fruit Contributed by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data in Great Britain before finding it in North America. Team, Greensboro, NC The small cranberry helped stock the larder of English and American ships, fed trappers in remote regions, and pleased the palates of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in their explorations across the United States (Lewis and Clark 1965). The Chinook, for example, traded dried cranberries with the English vessel Ruby in 1795 and at Thanksgiving in 1805 Lewis and Clark dined on venison, ducks, geese, and small cranberry sauce from fruit brought by Chinook women (McDonald 1966; Lewis and Clark 1965). Because the small cranberry can grow in association with large cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) in the Great Lakes region, northeastern USA and southeastern Canada (Boniello 1993; Roger Latham pers. comm. 2009) it is possible that the Pilgrims of Plymouth were introduced to both edible Small cranberries growing in a bog on the western Olympic species by the Wampanoag.

  • Cranberry 2016 Chart Book
    NUTRITION 59 NUTRITION MANAGEMENT FOR PRODUCING BOGS 2017 Prepared by Carolyn J. DeMoranville In late 2015, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts enacted regulations regarding nutrient management: 330 CMR 31.00 Plant Nutrient Application Requirements for Agricultural Land and Land Not Used for Agricultural Purposes. Those regulations underwent review and additional public comment in 2016 and the revised version will be released sometime in early 2017. Based on the previous version and the draft released for comments, record keeping of applications and soil and tissue test results will continue to be required. In addition, there is every indication that nutrient management plans for agricultural lands, including cranberry, will need to be based on plant needs (as determined by testing and research) and UMass Extension recommendations. This section of the Chart Book encompasses UMass Extension recommendations for cranberry nutrient management. Last year, a section was added to the Cranberry Station website to provide information on how to develop a nutrient management plan that is based on Chart Book recommendations. To view these resources, follow the 'Nutrient Management for Cranberries' Quick Link on our home page (http://ag.umass.edu/cranberry). Resources include a plan template and Excel files with sample record keeping formats and nutrient calculators (determine fertilizer rates based on how much nutrient you want to apply). Growers may also choose to use the BOGS system, available from the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association. It is an online tool designed to plan and keep records that meet regulatory requirements for pesticide and nutrient applications. Nutrient management decisions should be based on the needs of the plant.

However, sometimes those agents lack antimicrobial efficiency or cause undesired side effects. To identify alternative anti-infective agents, the present study investigated the antibacterial activity of all-fruit juices derived from blackcurrant, redcurrant, cranberry and raspberry on common oral pathogenic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus sobrinus, Actinomyces naeslundii, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Enterococcus faecalis). (2) Methods: Antibacterial efficiency was evaluated by agar diffusion assay and in direct contact with bacteria in planktonic culture. Furthermore, cytotoxicity on human gingival fibroblasts was determined. (3) Results: Blackcurrant juice was most efficient at suppressing bacteria; followed by the activity of redcurrant and cranberry juice.

  • Effects of Mulching Blueberry Plants with Cranberry Fruits and Leaves on Yield, Nutrients and Weeds
    Compost Science & Utilization, (2008), Vol. 16, No- 4,220-227 Effects of Mulching Blueberry Plants With Cranberry Fruits and Leaves On Yield, Nutrient Uptake and Weed Suppression U. Krogmann , B.F. Rogers , and S. Kumudini 2, Department of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers University, Neiv Brunswick, New jersey 2. Plant and Soil Sciences, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky Integration of local organic wastes as mulches into farm production can provide waste management op- tions and an alternative to landfilling. In 2000, cranberry growers needed ways to dispose of excess cran- berries caused by overproduction and a federal regulation limiting the fruit's marketable production. This study examined the use of excess cranberry fruits and leaves as mulches on established blueberry plants. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of these novel mulches on established blueberry plant nutrient uptake, fruit yield, selected soil chemical properties and weed suppression. A randomized block design was set up and maintained for two years with four different mulch treatments (no mulch, 5.1- cm cranberry fruit, 10.2-cm cranberry fruit and 10.2-cm cranberry leaves). Leaf tissue nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, S, B, Al), fruit yield and average fruit size, selected soil properties, weed biomass and number of weed types were determined. In the second year, the fruit yield in the mulched treatments was lower than in the control (P<0.05), but not the fruit size. One possible reason is a significant decrease in leaf nitrogen uptake observed in some mulch plots. Weed biomass was significantly reduced along with species diversity.

  • Natural History of the American Cranberry, Vaccinium Macrocarpon Ait
    Natural History of the American Cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait. The cranberry is a native American fruit. Its native range extends in temperate climate zones from the East Coast to the Central U. S. and Canada and from Southern Canada in the north to the Appalachians in the south. The plant is a low-growing, trailing, woody vine with a perennial habit. Cranberries produce stems or runners from one to six feet long. During the growing season, the leaves are dark green and glossy, turning reddish-brown during the dormant season. The vines form a thick mat over the surface of a cultivated bed. Short vertical upright branches, known as uprights, form from the buds along the runners. The uprights have a vertical (non-trailing) growth habit and form the terminal buds that contain the flower Native distribution of cranberry in North America. buds. Most of the fruit is formed from the flowers on the uprights, with some berries arising from flowers on the runner ends. The plants thrive on the special combination of soils and hydrology found in wetlands. Natural Massachusetts bogs evolved from glacial deposits that left kettle holes lined with impermeable materials. These kettles became filled with water and decaying matter, creating the ideal environment for cranberries. Growing cranberries commercially also requires a surrounding network of support Mature ‘Stevens’ berries. Photo acres — the fields, forests, by Meredith Albright. streams, and ponds that make up the cranberry wetlands system. Many Massachusetts cranberry bogs, particularly those in Plymouth County, are built on bogs that had been mined for iron ore, while most of those on Cape Cod were developed in natural peat bogs.
