The cranberry is a low, creeping shrub with trailing vines, usually grown in acidic bogs. The soil must be kept moist but not flooded during the growing season. The fields are flooded to facilitate a more effective berry harvest, and again for the winter to protect the plants from harsh winter conditions.
