Abstract

A new and distinct cranberry variety ‘WI92-A-X15’ is described. The variety is distinguished by significantly higher yields, larger fruit size, more favorable bud set traits, tolerance to high levels of fertilizer, higher and earlier red pigmentation, and ability to set excellent crops at an early age as compared to ‘Stevens’, the most widely grown cranberry cultivar. ‘WI92-A-X15’ was derived from a controlled cross of the variety ‘Stevens’ and an open-pollinated seedling selection of the variety ‘Ben Lear’ designated as Boone's ‘BL8’.
