. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. tribal feasts as a peace symbol. Some historians believe that cranberries were served at the first Thanksgiving feast. When the Pilgrims landed in 1620, the trailing evergreen shrub was new to them, and, in the spring, the bogs were covered with a profusion of blossoms which promised a rich harvest of berries in the fall. Names can be funny or sad, fanciful or plain, dull or descriptive. In the case of Vaccinium macrocarpon, the name applied to it was decidedly descriptive. The Pilgrims decided that the long stamen of the individual blossom looked like the bill of a crane and the way the four lobed corolla petals bent back also suggested the appearance of a crane's head.
