Do any of you grow highbush cranberries? How are they doing and what do you do with them? We got a couple of plants put out this year and aren't quite sure about what they will produce. According to one set of info they are only similar to regular low bush cranberries in that they are very tart. I remember my MIL made a good jelly with wild picked highbush cranberries quite a few years ago.

I have some growing also. I grow them for ornamental reasons and for winter bird food. They are very tart tasting to me. MB

They are native here in WA (Viburnum trilobum) and are commonly planted in ornamental landscapes to attract birds and wildlife. It never occurred to me that the fruit is also edible to humans. I'll have to give them a try next year. We have some growing wild on our property and the deer love to nibble on them.
