These sour berries can be used for preserves.\r\nSize: A compact, mounding shrub, it typically grows to be about 5–6 feet (1.5-1.8 m) tall and wide at maturity, a smaller version of the standard highbush cranberry.\r\nHardiness: Extremely cold-hardy, thriving in USDA Zones 2–9. \r\nLight: Does best in full sun to partial shade.\r\nSoil: Adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, including clay, and is highly tolerant of urban pollution. It prefers average to moist conditions but should not be allowed to dry out.\r\nMaintenance: A low-maintenance shrub that is resistant to deer.\r\nPruning: Prune only after flowering to avoid removing the current season's flower buds, which form on old wood.
