Only the hexaploid chromosome number of 2n=72 has been reported with convincing documentation for polyploid cranberry ( Vaccinium ) clones in Finland.

The recent documented determinations of hexaploidy in Central Europe and N Asia and the reports in N America and N Europe may mean a circumpolar distribution of hexaploid cranberry.
