Cranberries are a fruitcrop that grow from Cranberry Seeds after 7 days and continue to produce every 5 days after maturity.
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).[1]
Most fertilizers have limited effect on multiple-harvest crops, including Cranberries. Basic, Quality, and Deluxe 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, the amount of yields per season after that point is still 4. Retaining soil may potentially be useful to reduce watering.
The second day appearance can be deceiving as it looks almost identical to the dead crop sprite, without the brown color.

↑The game generates a random number between 0 and 1, and if it is less than 0.1, then another Cranberry will spawn. This repeats until the random number is greater than or equal to 0.1, at which point the chance for an extra Cranberry ends. This, on average, will give 0.11 extra Cranberries. Keep in mind that Luck can also double the amount of extra Cranberries spawned by the above formula.
