Abstract

Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea, commonly called lingonberry, cowberry or mountain cranberry, is a shrub inhabiting almost all northern regions of the world. It has more than 20 common names. It is a minor crop of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and is grown on a wider scale in the Scandanavian countries. It has been shipped to the United States to be eaten raw or cooked. It may be commercially feasible to grow lingonberries in Minnesota, although little research has been done on them.
