Yeah acid like blueberries.
Actually the "normal situation" for cranberries was one created by moving glaciers--there would be Kettel holes scooped out of the earth's crust, or in some cases huge chunks of glacial ice would break-off and melt, then layers of sand and plant debris/peat would be deposited in there by the glacier's movement so that a sort of boggy situation existed and then the seeds would fll into these pits and there it was--the perfect microcosm for cranberries to grow in.
This is an interesting thing to read about. I studied it years ago, but I still find it an interesting subject.
