FUN FACT:
The cranberry vine grows low to the ground and produces white or pink flowers. It has oblong leaves and woody trailing stems called runners. The berries develop on uprights, stems that rise from the runners. Cranberry vines are native to North America. They grow wild in swampy areas of cool regions. In the United States, commercial growers cultivate cranberries in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. Cranberry production in Canada takes place in British Columbia, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.
