St. Lawrence Nursery buys
their tissue cultured lingonberry plants from Hartmann Plant Company in
Michigan. I bought mine from Hartmann too but Hartmann won't honor orders
under 100 plants. You will need 100 or more plants if you want to get
enough fruit to do something with in your lifetime. Plants are under 12"
tall and each plant produces damn few berries. Oh, and it you get back
aches from bending over picking berries, you may not want very many
plants.
