I have a cranberry plant that has arrived by post. Should I plant it straight out or pot it up and plant in the spring?

Is it dormant? If so plant it straight out...  :-\

It looks dormant. Don't want to loose it as it was expensive. Anyone know if hardwood cuttings do well? I was hoping to let it settle for a year or 2 and then take a number of cuttings.

I bought two plants in 2008 but they have not had fruit so I have dug them up . Really disapointed as I had them in  th eright soils conditions or so i thought s. Good luck.

I get my allotment on Saturday  ;)

Don't they grow in a bog?  2008 is not that long for a plant to bear fruit.

For the original poster, I would plant now - if you have not already.
