Yes. They are called highbush cranberry and other names. I have several growing in the woods behind my home in Maine. I was very surprised by this because I used to pick Cranberries on the bogs down in Southern Massachusetts, so to see them on trees was odd to say the least. My husband and I are doing research on these berries to learn more about them.
To preserve the freshness of cranberries by freezing them, first rinse and dry the cranberries. Then spread them out on a baking sheet and freeze them until they are firm. Transfer the frozen cranberries to a freezer-safe bag or container, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Label the container with the date and store in the freezer for up to one year.
