The 2016 Annual Seedling Sale NEW DATES & NEW PICK-UP SITE!
Fruit Strawberry: A soil pH level of 6.5 - 6.8 is recommended for strawberry plants. Cavendish strawberry, which originates in Nova Scotia, is the result of a cross between two varieties known for their winter hardiness and attractive, large fruit. It produces high yields that ripen over a long growing season. Excellent flavor and overall quality of the fruit makes this variety a good choice for commercial and home use. Cavendish is highly resistant to red stele and has some resistance to Verticillium wilt
Blueberry: Soil pH level of 4.5 - 4.8 is recommended for blueberry plants. Blueberry plants bear fruit 1 year after planting. The following two types of blueberry plants are cell grown plants which provide a strong root system. The cell is 3”x7” and the canes are 14”. Blueberries contain high levels of Nutraceuticals, a substance providing a healthy benefit to the human body!
Bluecrop
The leading blueberry variety grown and is especially popular on the East Coast and Michigan. It produces high yields of large, bright blue berries that are firm and grow in large clusters. The berry flavor is superb, fresh or frozen. Bluecrop is known for its hardiness, vigor and consistent production. The plant grows to a height of 4-6 feet.
Jersey
Jersey blueberry is a late-season variety that is easy to grow, high-yielding, and one of the oldest and most widely grown blueberry varieties. The berries are dark blue, medium in size, and very sweet. A tall and well-shaped bush, it has excellent ornamental value.
Red Raspberry: A soil pH level of 6.5 - 6.8 is recommended for raspberry plants. Caroline raspberry has a larger berry than Heritage and is more productive, with a rich, full, and intense raspberry flavor. It is a very vigorous variety, with more tolerance for root rot than Heritage. The farther south you grow it, the earlier it will ripen. Caroline is widely adapted, growing everywhere from the East Coast to the West Coast. This variety does not tolerate high heat and drought.
Currants: Blanca is a white currant that yields heavy, off white fruit on long strigs. The immature fruit is tart, but turns sweeter when fully ripe. Blanca is used for winemaking, juice, and for fresh consumption as well as general use. This vigorous variety has a spreading growth habit and produces fruit at midseason.
Fruit Trees Peach:
Soil pH Level of 6.0. The Champion peach tree is a reliable, vigorous tree that yields large sweet fruit. Just about the best white peach for home use. Fruit’s fine flavor and texture are suitable for fresh-eating, canning, and freezing. Discovered in Illinois in 1880. Freestone. Ripens in mid-August. Self-pollinating.
Vegetables Jersey Knight Asparagus: One of the New Jersey asparagus hybrids, Jersey Knight is extremely vigorous, has large, succulent spears, and quickly attracts a loyal following. The flavor is excellent, and the plant is resistant to rust, crown rot and fusarium. It also performs equally well in heavy, clay-like soils. A soil pH level of 7.0 - 7.2 for asparagus plants is recommended. Asparagus plants produce a light harvest in the 2nd year, a larger harvest the 3rd year, and a full harvest in subsequent years. Best in Zones: 3 – 8. Freezing Quality: Excellent
Horseradish: We have selected the horseradish strain "Big Top" for its size, vigor, wide adaptability and resistance to foliage diseases, rust and bacterial spot (all common problems in horseradish). These horseradish plants are top performers; a few roots will last a lifetime.
Rhubarb: The Cawood rhubarb variety has deep red color and slightly thick stalks. Cawood Delight has a stout growth habit that will excel in northern areas. It may struggle in areas with long periods of high heat. We have had a lot of positive feedback on this variety from commercial growers and home gardeners.
Native Plants When native plants introduced into landscape the plantings are hardy, less susceptible to pests and diseases and unlikely to escape and become invasive. With properly selected native plants, it may not be necessary to modify soil characteristics at all to have thriving gardens. The great variety of plants native to any region give gardeners options that work well in any type of garden design. Because maintaining native plants requires less work, they provide excellent choices for large commercial landscapes as well as residential gardens.
Native or Naturilzed Flowering Shrubs Bundle: Two each of these flowering shrubs; White Flowering Dogwood, Elderberry, American Cranberry (Viburnum), Juneberry, and Black Chokecherry.
Wildflower Bundle: Two each of thse wildflowers; Black-eyed susan, Oxeye Daisy, Foam Flower, Wild Geranium and Cardinal Flower.
