The latest growing environment of cranberries

Cranberry, also known as brown berry, is a small shrub plant, mainly grows in the cool acid soil of the Northern Hemisphere, is a traditional North American fruit, because of high calories, high fiber, high minerals, loved by people. From this main place of growth, we can see that some of the composition of the growth environment, as well as what conditions may be required for the growth of cranberries, the following content will begin to introduce the environment it needs to grow.

1. Environment

Growing mainly in cold areas of the northern hemisphere, growing at low temperatures, not hot, and generally growing at the foot of mountains, nearby lakes, swamps, or ponds, North America grows mainly in soil formed by glacier dissolution and stratification.

2. Soil

Artificial cultivation needs to be planted in soil with good water retention of sand, peat, gravel, clay or pond mud. at present, artificial cultivation is mainly planted in wetlands, mountains, gutters, ditches, artificial ponds and so on. Generally required soil acidity is 4.0 to 5.5, must be acidic soil, including water acidity is less than 6 can.

3. Pay attention

Generally, it can be planted in the cold areas of the north, but if there is sufficient water and there is no wind and sand, such as northern Shaanxi, it is not suitable for planting. It is dry and sandy, but it is suitable for planting in Heilongjiang, because there is no shortage of water. Temperature is fine. But the best growing environment is the big and small Xing'an Mountains, where all the environmental factors can be met.

4. Harvesting conditions

The harvest method of cranberries is very special, and the harvest also needs suitable conditions. The most common harvest method is the water harvest method. When ripe, the planting fields are filled with water, water trucks are used to draw water, so that the fruits fall off naturally, and then the fruits are screened and concentrated. In the later stage, you need to dry the surface water in a ventilated place.

From the above, we know that cranberries mainly grow in cold marshes with more water, and the requirements for the ideal environment are relatively strict, and even harvesting is related to the choice of planting environment. So now you should understand the growing environment requirements of cranberries.
