They are low keeping shrubs up to seven feet (3m) long, from 2 to 8 inches (5-20 cm) high. They have slender and wiry stems with small leaves which are evergreen with dark pink flowers. Cranberries are usually eaten during thanksgiving in the united states. They are also eaten in europe and some parts of south america. Cranberries are strong cash crops for certain U.S. states.
