Willamette Lingenberries? #925068

Asked February 25, 2026, 8:55 PM EST

I’m wondering if Ertesegen lingenberries can be grown in the mid Willamette valley. Do you know if anyone has tried it? My family is Swedish and are quite fond of the tart little berry and I would love to grow some. From my research, the Erntesegen is the most heat tolerant. Can you give me any other info on lingenberries in the region and where a good source is? Thanks!
