Clarifying the farming processes for cranberries. edit

Cranberries are grown in sandy beds that then get flooded for harvesting. When the berries are ripe they float up to the surface of the water because of the four air pockets in the berry. The plant doesn’t actually grow in the flooded bed, they are not aquatic, just harvested. Schaeffer-Spear (talk) 13:40, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
