When to plant lingonberry
UMass Extension says to plant lingonberries in the spring as soon as the soil has dried out enough to be worked without compacting it, using potted plants for a higher survival rate. Lower the soil pH to about 5.0 with elemental sulfur the fall before.
Lingonberry is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
