It is a deciduous shrub with a rounded, upright spreading and sometimes arching habit. It typically grows to 10 to 15 feet tall. The leaves are three lobed, maple-like, shiny dark green turning an attractive yellow red or reddish purple in the fall. In spring it features an outer ring of 3/4 inch white sterile flowers surrounding the fertile but inconspicuous inner flowers, in a 3 inch flat-topped cluster. The flowers are followed by drooping clusters of cranberry like bright red 1/4 inch edible berries (drupes) in the fall. The berries are edible fresh off the shrub and are much less bitter than those berries found on Viburnum opulus. The berries are sometimes used to make jams and jellies. American Highbush Cranberry is not related to true cranberries; the name comes from its tart, edible red fruits.

You can use any potting soil, any well drained soil or even sand. Keep soil moist, but not soggy. To make it easier, cover your pot with the plastic bag. Keep your seeds with the room temperature. Seedlings should emerge in the 3 months. Another way: 1. Stratify the seeds Soak the seeds for 1–3 days, then mix them with soil in a plastic bag and put it in the fridge for 90 days. Check the bag periodically to make sure the seeds are moist and germinating evenly. 2. Sow the seeds Put the stratified seeds in small pots with acidic compost. Plant 2–3 seeds per pot, ¼ inch deep, and cover with soil. 3. Keep the seeds warm and moist Place the pots on a warm windowsill or propagation mat and keep the seeds at a temperature of 70°F or higher. The seeds should germinate in a few weeks. Sometimes seeds germinate next spring or summer… just be patient. 4. Grow in pots for the first year When the seedlings are ready, transplant them into the garden in the spring or fall. Space the plants 1–2 feet apart. 5. Harden off the seedlings Before transplanting, acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions by putting them in a sheltered area for about a week. Protect them from strong winds and direct sunlight. If there's a risk of frost, cover the plants or bring them inside. Cranberries grow best in cool temperatures, acidic soil, and lots of moisture. Ideally, you should water the plants with rainwater.
