# Cranberries are haadama.<Ref>Halachos of Brachos (Teshuvot 203:1) quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman as saying that cranberries are haadama since the stalk is less than 3 tefachim. That is his conclusion on p. 394. Vezot Habracha p. 391 agrees. Rav Elyashiv (cited by Darshu 203:8 from Yisa Yosef 3:50) held it was haetz since they're edible.</ref>
