This came up recently. Remember that they are plants of the far
north, and so like cool conditions. If I recall, they also like
damp, acid, poor but humus-rich soil.

Climatically-challenged persons can buy cloudberry jam in Ikea.


We have yet to be blessed with an Ikea store in Ireland :-)
Though I understand some delis in Dublin carry it, for them that are
prepared to take out a second mortgage.
