Publisher's Synopsis

The cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, is one of only three cultivated fruits native to North America. This book poses the question of how the cranberry, and by inference other fruits, will fare in a warming climate. In her attempt to evaluate the effects of climate change, Susan Playfair interviewed growers from Massachusetts west to Oregon and from New Jersey north to Wisconsin, the cranberry's temperature tolerance range.
