Default Sowing cranberry seeds


"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message
k...
I came across
some big fat cranberries running loose at the bottom.

, I ended up with about twenty seeds.

I'd think that cranberry seeds would survive the cold, so, has anyone
got any pointers for planting them? I'd guess that close to the surface
on damp ericaceous compost should be right, but, outside now, or inside?

If any come up, will they need greenhouse conditions? They are the big,
almost cherry-sized ones from the US.

I will check locally for you to see if I can come up with something...I know
that germinating them can be somewhat eratic and mostly are not propagated
via seed...but will do me best to come up with an answer.....they are native
plants around here and within 1/2 mile of where I live are acres upon acres
of them grown commercially....a beautiful sight to see in the fall when they
are being harvested....literally millions of them floating on the water....H
