Fruit: The plant produces bright red berries that are similar in appearance to true cranberries. These berries are edible but are often quite tart and are typically used in jams, jellies, and sauces.
Habitat: Highbush cranberry is native to Europe, North America, and Asia. It is commonly found in moist, wooded areas, streams, and rivers.
