We have some highbush cranberries growing here but not many. I'd like to grow more bushes, mostly to feed the birds in the winter, but also because I like cranberries. I've inspected them and they seem to be the American variety. I ate a few and they tasted like a tart cranberry, edible, but not a treat. Unfortunately, this year the beetles have ravaged them.
I plan on starting some from cuttings, but right now I'd also like to prepare to start some from seeds. I have the berries still on the bushes to work with. I assume that the best way to go about this is to remove the seed from the berry, dry it, and store at a cool temperature. Has anyone else planted highbush cranberries from seeds or berries? Any advice would be appreciated by me and the birds.
