"Grape Vitis labrusca:Grapes grow on deciduous, woody vines that are adaptable to most soil conditions. For best production, chose a site in full sun with good air circulation and well-drained, slightly acidic soil with moderate fertility. Allow 6-8 feet between plants. Grapes require a strong permanent support and should be pruned in late winter when the vines are dormant. A general rule of thumb when pruning is to cut vines back to 2 nodes (or buds) from the previous season's growth. Birdblock netting will protect ripening fruit from plundering birds.
Our grape plants are shipped in mid-March. Order by March 1st for best availability. Complete growing instructions are included with each order. Not available to HI, US Territories, or Canada. Plants are shipped bare root.
Citrus Indulge yourself with your own fresh picked, home grown citrus. These dwarf varieties are beautiful, compact, and flourish in containers. Locate containers in full sun during the summer, then bring indoors and locate in a south facing, sunny window during the frosty months. Plants should be watered thoroughly then left to dry out in between watering. Fertilize with a citrus fertilizer such as our Citrus & Tropical Fertilizer (ZFE244). The evergreen plants bloom intermittently throughout the year. The flowers are whitish-colored and intoxicatingly fragrant. Juicy, delicious, sour fruits form following blooms.
Citrus plants will be shipped at the end of April. Order early for best availability. Not available to AK, AZ, CA, HI, FL, TX, US Territories, or Canada. Citrus plants are in 1 1/2 inch diameter x 8 1/4 inch long tree tubes.
Fig Ficus carica: Figs are handsome deciduous, fruiting trees with large, tropical looking leaves and a spreading habit. Right at home in a container or in the ground, they make a stately presence and will gladly bear delicious fruit. Figs are self-fertile and typically bear twice yearly, the second crop being markedly lighter. They appreciate a location in full sun and a well-balanced fertilizer in spring and early summer. Generally disease and pest resistant and hardy to zone 7. Can easily be brought indoors for the winter in zones 6 and below.
Fig and Wolfberry plants ship in mid-April. Order by March 1st for best availability. Complete growing instructions are included with each order. Not available to HI, US Territories, or Canada.
Arctic Beauty Kiwi Actinidia kolomikta: A must for your edible landscape, these kiwis would be a showpiece in nearly any garden. The fast-growing, deciduous vines are dazzlingly awash with colorful foliage and produce sumptuous, nutritious fruit. Less invasive than other kiwi varieties, Arctic Beauty's well-mannered habit is easily trained and ideal for trellises or fences. The plants are extremely durable, hardy, relatively disease and pest-free and prefer a part-sun location for optimum variegation. Slightly fragrant, inconspicuous flowers appear in early summer followed by tempting, sweet, smooth-skinned fruit that is delightful straight off the vine-no need to peel. Both male and female plants are necessary to produce fruit. For a dramatic display, pair the plants on either side of an arbor and enjoy easy-access to the crop hanging overhead. Can spread 10-20 feet. Zones 3-9. Each order contains one male and one female plant.
Plants are 1 year old and ship mid-April. Order by March 1st for best availability. Complete growing instructions are included with each order. Not available to US Territories or Canada.
Honeyberry Lonicera caerulea var. edulis: Highly valued in its native lands of Eastern Europe and Japan, this member of the honeysuckle family is adaptable to almost all regions of the US. A very unique shrub, honeyberry is grown for its tasty blueberry-like fruit that mature extremely early (often 2 weeks before strawberries). It is also cold hardy to -40°F, very easy to grow, and has very little pest and disease problems. Plants prefer partial shade. The berry's dark blue color is thought to be very high in antioxidants. Great fresh or made into preserves. Two varieties of similar bloom time are needed for pollination.

Sea Berry Hippophae rhamnoides: New to North American gardeners, Sea Berry is prized throughout Europe and Asia for its nutritious fruit, medicinal value, attractive habit and tolerance to even the most inhospitable growing situations. The fruit is commonly used in juices, preserves, candy and liqueurs. It is an excellent source of vitamins A, E and especially C (7 times the vitamin C as lemons!) The juice is delicious when sweetened. The plant is very tough and hardy, adaptable to all but extremely heavy, wet soil. True to its name, the Sea Berry even tolerates salt spray in coastal areas. It fixes nitrogen into the soil through its large root system and suffers no disease or pest problems. Blooms appear in April and female plants produce fruit that ripens in September to a reddish orange. The plant is deciduous, but the berries will remain on the branches throughout the cold months making it an attractive winter specimen. Little or no pruning is necessary unless for shaping. Fruit is produced on 2-year old wood. Both a male and female plant are necessary for pollination and should be located within 20 feet of each other since the flowers are wind pollinated.
