Important Information:
Your plants will be mailed within two days of your order being placed. You will receive an email that contains the USPS Tracking Code. Please closely follow the tracking information, to know exactly when to expect the plant’s arrival. As soon as the plant arrives, immediately open it, and water it well. We give the plant a very thorough soaking prior to shipping, so your plant should arrive in good shape. If the leaves may appear droopy upon arrival, a good watering will help them “perk up” after a couple of hours.
Each Plant comes snuggly packed in it’s own 12″ x 3″ x 3″ box.
The Florida Cranberry is one of the most sustainable crops to grow in the Sunshine State. At one time, the Florida Cranberry was a bigger crop in Florida than Citrus and we are working to bring it back.
Loaded with flavor, these delicious fruits can be eaten raw (chopped in salads, with yogurt, snack, etc.), cooked (cranberry sauce/relish, deserts, with meats, etc.), or made into a delicious tea.
Grow to make your own fresh tea and an endless variety of recipes. Native to Ethiopia but grown widely though out the world, with the exception of the United States and for no good reason! This amazing Florida cranberry fruits abundantly in the fall and the entire plants fruit and leaves are edible.
The Florida Cranberry is low maintenance because it is naturally acclimated to the Florida Climate.
