What is Cranberry grown for?
Cranberry is grown for edible fruit, wildlife value, food forest plantings, or specialty fruit collections.
Will seed-grown fruit trees be identical to the parent?
No. Seed-grown fruit trees and shrubs can vary, which is useful for diversity but not identical clone production.
Do fruit seeds need stratification?
Many temperate fruit seeds need cold moist stratification before germination; tropical fruits usually need warmth instead.
Can fruit trees be grown in containers?
Some can be started in containers, but most fruit trees eventually need adequate root space.
