Stages

When harvested, each Cranberry plant gives 2 Cranberries every 5 days, with a 10% chance of one or more extra cranberries (0.11 more cranberries on average).

Number of Harvests

Most fertilizers have limited effect on multiple-harvest crops, including Cranberries. Basic and Quality Fertilizers affect only the first berry from each harvest, and Speed-Gro fertilizers do not decrease the time between harvests. As shown in the comparison above, while Deluxe Speed-Gro (≈0.25%) will drop the initial growth time from 7 to 5.25 days, but the amount of yields per season after that point is still 4. Retaining soil may potentially be useful to reduce watering.

Bundles

Cranberries are not used in any bundles.

Tips

The second day appearance can be deceiving as it looks almost identical to the dead crop sprite, without the brown color.

Selling Cranberry Seeds made from the Seed Maker can be more profitable than selling the cranberries directly, and also potentially generates Ancient Seeds. Cranberry wine and jelly are more profitable, but the Seed Maker only takes 20 in-game minutes.
