Additional Information
Lingonberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea
Also called Foxberry,
Cowberry,
Mountain Cranberry. Vigorous shallow-rooted spreading
groundcover is related to blueberries and cranberries. Bright red glossy
nutritious fruits are wicked tart until dead ripe, then have excellent
flavor, richer and less astringent than cranberries. Can be eaten fresh
but
primarily used in sauces, jams, syrups, fruit leathers, juices and
wines.
Stores up to 2 months in the fridge. Small shiny dark green foliage is
quite
lovely. Adorable tiny bell-shaped white flowers in spring attract a
plethora
of pollinators. Extremely popular in Scandinavia and now catching on in
the
U.S. Ripen in late summer but are best after a frost. Can produce
1–2
lb per plant for up to 20 years.
Native to circumpolar boreal forests. Incredibly tough and very hardy.
