Help!! classifying CRANBERRY plants

[tater34]

Are cranberry plants classified as C3, C4, or CAM plants??

I do not know the answer to this necessarily, but...

I believe cranberry plants are found in relatively humid, temperate/sunny areas, not dry or arid environments where C4/CAM plants are normally found. I would guess that cranberry plants are C3 plants.

well if we are guessing, i would agree with Jammerz. But haven't actually read it anywhere though. If you can find a list with C4 families and CAM families(there are many) you can look up Ericaceae. If it's not in either, it's C3 for sure. If it is, you need to do more digging. But as I said, my guess coincides with that of Jammerz

They are most likely C3 plants as most CAM plants are xerophytes (cranberry is not) and most C4 plants belong to the Grass families.
