*Apple* Golden Russet Price $ Availibility Tree 35.00 n/a Originated in 1859, it is a possible seedling of English Russet. A medium-size apple, its russet skin varies from grey-green to a golden bronze with a bright coppery-orange cheek. The fine-grained, yellowish flesh is crisp with an exceptionally sugary juice. It ripens in the first two weeks of October. Although wonderful to eat fresh, It is considered to be one of the best cider apples of all time. The flavour was described to me as honeyed. The flesh is sweet, and this one has a distinctive flavour. Would I describe it as reminiscent of honey? I don’t know. My wife loves them...and so do I. The crisp flesh is highly flavoured and of extremely high quality. Keeps until April. Great cider apple. Ripens mid October.

You can bet it was made with Cortland, the very best salad apple. This great all purpose apple was developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva in 1898. To me, Cortland is the very definition of "apple". Its semi-sweet, juicy, flavorful flesh and versatility has made it my favourite apple for many years. It is great for eating, and for pies, but especially my favorite, for applesauce. I have recently sampled about 15 different varieties of apple in the quest to find the perfect apple for me, but Cortland remains unmatched in flavour and versatility. It is the most appley apple! Like a Mac, but larger, a bit sweeter & usually more fragrant. They're excellent because they don't brown as quick as most other kinds.

Growing to only 6 1/2 ft. tall, this is a naturally dwarfed bush with full-sized fruit—much easier to maintain than typical cherries. Carmine Jewel is grown on its own roots, so you get no suckers of inferior quality root stock. Extreme cold hardiness and few problems from disease and pests make this beauty a breeze to grow. Abundant, white and pink flowers and glossy, green leaves allow it to double as an ornamental in your landscape in early spring. Carmine Jewel Exhibits Hardiness into zone 2b. Self-pollinating.

Nanking - sweet cherry (Manchu) bareroot$ Price $ Availibility Seedling RC small 10.00 15.00 30 Seedling 75cm! Large 15.00 20.00 10 Nanking cherry is the earliest blooming cherry and one of the best fruit-producers for northern areas. They have dull green, veined leaves that do not color up in the fall. The Nanking is an upright spreading bush.They make wonderful informal hedges, good for mass plantings in large shrub beds or background shrubs in small beds. Cross pollination is essential for good fruit production. Pincherry, Nanking cherry, chokecherry and sandcherry all cross-pollinate. Nanking cherries can self pollinate however cross pollination provides greater fruit production. They require full sun and moderately drained soil Birds love these tiny, sweet cherries which are excellent for pies, jams and fresh off the bush. Excellent small cherry tree for display, hedges, and tasty fruit.

Tree The large, nutritious fruit has a wonderful, and unique aroma blending dairy cream, bananas and pineapple, and its surprising texture is like a perfectly smooth custard. The big, shiny brown pits just slip out of this custard, and aren't held by any structure. The tree is very pest-resistant and requires no spraying; in fact, scientists all over the world are busy analyzing the natural substances (called annonaceous acetogenins) in the leaves and bark that are responsible for repelling both insects and fungus. Interestingly, crushed leaves have a faint, but distinct odor of petroleum. Due to their soft skin and short shelf life (1 weeks in the fridge) so to speak..the only way to experience eating one is to grow one yourself. They are know as northern or prairie bananas...due to the flavour. They are always eaten raw like banana. The Paw Paw is a beautiful tree that looks tropical and gets no higher than a lilac bush. I have 1 growing on my property up west and it is looking amazing. I must plant another in order to get fruit so that is what I will do this year. Scientific Name: Asimina Triloba Summary Light Requirement: (sheltered as a seedling for 2 years) then Full Sun Cold Hardiness: Zone 5 Height: 15 feet Foliage: Green-tropical fall foliage: attractive gold Form: pyramidal fruit: tasty pawpaw- similar to banana and custard Growth Rate: medium Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Goji Berry Price $ Availibility plant 4"pot 10.00 sold out Goji berries (aka Wolf berry) grow on an evergreen shrub found in temperate and subtropical regions in China, Mongolia and in the Himalayas in Tibet. They are in the nightshade (Solonaceae) family. Goji berries are usually found dried. They are shriveled red berries that look like red raisins Goji berries have been used for 6,000 years by herbalists in China, Tibet and India to: * protect the liver * help eyesight * improve sexual function and fertility * strengthen the legs * boost immune function * improve circulation * promote longevity Goji berries are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. One of zeaxanthin's key roles is to protect the retina of the eye by absorbing blue light and acting as an antioxidant. In fact, increased intake of foods containing zeathanthin may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in people over the age of 65. I use them in my stir frys! Yes they taste good. The goji berry plant could qualify as either a bush or a vine. It seems to be a bush-like plant with trailing vines that reach out from a bushy center. Keep pruned once the vine trailings exceed 12 ft. Scientific Name: Lycium barburum Summary Light Requirement: (sheltered as a seedling for 2 years) then Full Sun Cold Hardiness: Zone 4b Height: 10 feet Foliage: Green Form: vine or shrub fruit: goji berries...taste like raisins... Growth Rate: medium Soil: Fertile, well-drained -can withstand drought comment: they bare fruit in the 3rd year. Honeyberry (Haskap berry) Bareroot$ Potted$ Availibility plant -Borealis 10.00 15.00 16 plant - polinator- Berry blue 10.00 15.00 8 (you need 1 polinator for every 8-10 Borealis) These plants produce a fabulous tasting fruit that is hard to describe. Some say it tastes like a cross between a raspberry and blueberry, but we feel that it is truly unique. There is much demand for this fruit in Japan. This is due to increased urbanization of traditional Haskap orchard areas. We think that once this berry gets more exposure here, the local demand will also boom. Unlike any other crop, Haskap produces fruit as early as mid-June. This makes it an excellent choice for those growing dwarf sour cherries and/or Saskatoons. It allows orchard growers a longer season to capture fresh market customers. Also, because it can be mechanically harvested, established growers may be able to use their existing harvesting equipment. And is great for the backyard gardener wanting the easiest and best fruit to grow. Haskap is exceptionally winter hardy. Plants will over winter in temperatures as low as -48°C. Flowers can be exposed to temperatures of -7°C with no detriment to fruit set. There are several health benefits to those who consume this berry. Haskap berries are high in vitamin C and a great source of antioxidants.Early & High Yield (1 year)! In the studies at the University of Saskatchewan, they were yielding 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) per plant in their 3rd year and 4 kg per plant in their 6th year. Scientific Name: Lonicera caerulea L. (blue Honeysuckle) Summary Light Requirement: Full Sun Cold Hardiness: Zone 0 (-48c) Height: 50cm Foliage: Green Form: shrub fruit: haskap or honeyberry...tastes similar to mix between blueberry and raspberry Growth Rate: fast Soil: any comment: they bare fruit in the 1st year. Extremely hardy! I can't say enough about this fruit.... Arctic Kiwi vine (Actinidia kolomikta) Price $ Availibility plant -female-Anna 20.00 1 Plant- male-Meader 20.00 1 Combo pot- male/female 35.00 10 (you need 1 male for up to 3 females) Actinidia kolomikta - the Arctic kiwi - is generally grown as an ornamental climber, which produces beautiful pink and white tipped foliage in early summer. Fruits will only be produced if there are both male and female plants present. Even if the Hardy Arctic Kiwi didn't produce fruit, you'd want to grow it as a decorative broad-leafed flowering vine that is not troubled by insects or disease, and which can quickly cover a trellis or arbor. The fragrant flowers resemble clematis and bear heavy clusters of oval lime-sized green fruits that ripen in autumn. The sweetness and juiciness of the fruits is unbelievable - more delicious than the sweetest melon you have ever tasted, and even juicier than the finest quality dessert grape. You'll want to eat most of them fresh off the vine, but fruits can also be used to make pie fillings and jam. They have almost 20 times the vitamin C content of oranges. Unlike the fruits of New Zealand kiwis, which must be peeled, the skin of the Arctic Kiwi is tender and edible, like a cherry or grape. Summary Light Requirement: Partial to Full Sun Cold Hardiness: Zone 4 Height: 8-10ft Spread: 4-5 ft Foliage: Green with pink and white Form: shrub fruit: Arctic Kiwi-tastey Growth Rate: moderate-fast Soil: any comment: I have 2 sets and love them. Nut Trees Chinese Chestnut (Castanea Mollissima) Price $ Availibility Seedling 15.00 9 While technically not a native, the Chinese chestnut is grown as a replacement for the American chestnut that was killed throughout North America in the early 20th century by a blight disease. As its name implies, it is native to China, and widely adapted in the US/Canada. Nuts are of outstanding quality. Attractive to wildlife. These chestnuts can be roasted over an open fire! Tree needs full sun and well-drained soil. Very drought tolerant once established. Nuts ripen in Sept-Oct. Trees should begin producing at 4-5 years after planting. Note: Two trees must be planted for pollination. A must have tree! Scientific Name: Castanea Mollissima Summary Light Requirement: Full Sun Cold Hardiness: Zone 4b Height: 60 feet Foliage: Green. Form: Rounded. fruit: delicious nut Growth Rate: fast Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Comments: Edible fruit (delicious nuts), hardy and resistant to blight, it has been used to replace American Chestnut Shagbark Hickory Price $ Availibility potted Seedling 15.00 none this season Shagbark hickory trees are deciduous and provide excellent fall foliage colour. In autumn their leaves turn a golden colour -- richer than the yellows displayed by the maples. "Shagbark" hickory trees derive their picturesque name from the interesting exfoliating bark they bear. The peeling bark juts out from one or both ends, curling outward. Even when the leaves are long gone from the deciduous trees in winter, this feature of shagbark hickory trees provides landscape interest. The fragrant nut the trees bear is said to be the tastiest from any of the hickory nut trees. I personally have 2 of these on my land up west...and have always loved them since I was a boy in Ontario and first heard of hickory sticks. Scientific Name: Carya Ovata Summary Light Requirement: Sun to Partial Sun Cold Hardiness: Zone 4 Height: 75-100 feet Spring Foliage: Green Summer Foliage: Green Fall Foliage: brilliant yellow Form: Rounded. fruit: delicious nut Growth Rate: slow Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Comments: planted for: Fall foliage, Novel bark, tasty nuts (need 2 plants to propegate) *Black Walnut* Price $ Availibility This year seedling 5.00 n/a potted 1 year seedling 10.00 √ (20) potted 2+ year seedling 15.00 √ (10+) This tree is prized for its beautiful wood and the tasty nuts which are avidly harvested in the autumn. I love this tree, a close cousin of the Butternut. It looks exotic with the pinnate leaves. It is nice to see groves of these trees or even a few running the length of someones lawn or bordering ones driveway. They are majestic and deserve a place on any large lawn. However, they require space as they produce Juglans which is a chemical that can kill or hamper growith of other plants or trees. I recommend anyone who can plant one or more of this beautiful nut tree. I have planted rows of these on my land up west. Scientific Name: Juglans Nigra Summary Foliage: green, fall yellow- Pinnately compound, alternate, 15-23 stalkless leaflets, dull, fine hairy, dark green surface Height: 30-40 ft Form: upright short bole and wide crown when grown in the open of a yard.

They open like a locket, with two flat heart-shaped halves. You will most likely find heartnuts growing in northern states, Canada and Europe. Heartnuts have been shown to be a healthful nut— high in fiber, antioxidants, and protein. The taste has been described as sweet, mild and pleasing. A wonderful nut for cooking and baking, it is especially flavourful toasted. Heartnuts shells are great for crafting. Their heart shape and natural texture work well in wreaths and decorations. Your imagination is the only limit to uses for heartnuts! I own 2 nice size ones on my land up west on the Island and they are growing fast. Now I even have a huge one on my new location. Scientific Name: Juglans ailantifolia var. cordiformis Summary Foliage: green, fall yellow- Pinnately compound, alternate, 15-17 stalkless leaflets, The whole leaf is downy-pubescent, and a somewhat brighter, yellower green than many other tree leaves.

I saw one of these almost tropical looking trees in a park near where I live and couldn't identify what it was. When I did, I had to have one! Then I read up about them and found out how rare they are and endangered. Also how tastey the nuts are! They used to be used like money and were traded about 200 years ago in the Montreal area. Some of the Confederate soldiers during hte American civil war used the dye in the nuts to dye their rag tag uniforms. We have 2 on our property in town. :) Scientific Name: Juglans Cinerea Summary Foliage: green, fall yellow- Pinnately compound, alternate, 11-19 stalkless leaflets, dull, fine hairy, dark green surface Height: 40-60 ft Form: upright and irregular to dense and symetrical....varies Type: Deciduous Growth Rate: medium to fast Flowers: May-June yellow-green flowers Fruit: Oblong, oval kernel is sweet, oily buttery flavour, harvested in late October Plant Needs Zone: 3-8 Light: full sun seems best yet also does well at edge of forest with partial shade Soil Type: moist Ginkgo Biloba Price $ Availibility potted 1 year seedling 10.00 √ 23tree 1 gal 15.00 √(40) tree full size 6-11ft 35mm 95.00 √ (3) One of the coolest exotic looking trees (from ancient China) that I have had the pleasure of growing. I just love the leaves. They look like fans and this tree can live over 3000 years old. Also the Ginkgo is well known for its medicinal properties. This tree can be used anywhere as it is very poor soil tolerant. It is a good choice to grow close to the road where salt spray will take its toll on many other species. This tree is also very cold hardy and looks great into the fall with beautiful golden yellow leaves. Unmistakeable! Surely a conversation piece! Very Salt tolerant! I love them and have one on my property in town and 3 on my property up west on the island. Scientific Name: Ginkgo Biloba (Maidenhair tree) Summary Foliage: Alternate, simple, fan-shaped, 2 to 3 inches long and wide, fan like Height: 50-80 ft Growth Rate: medium 12-18" year, fast for first 10 years then slows down Flowers: Dioecious; tiny green males are borne on 1 inch long catkins; female "cones" are 1 1/2 to 2 inch long peduncles, bearing 1 to 2 ovules, present in mid-spring Form: Pyramidal Plant Needs Zone: 4-9 Light: part shade- full sun Soil Type: all types....prefers sandy/clay well drained.
