Actinidia deliciosa
- Fuzzy Kiwi — (0°F, USDA Zone 7-9) This plant
produces kiwi like you see at the market. It is a fast growing but deciduous
vine with large, rounded, dark green leaves on red velvety stems. Spring flowers
are creamy white. A male is necessary for fruit production. May take three or
four years for the female to produce fruit. Hardy and fuzzy varieties will
generally pollinate each other, but the Arctic varieties flower too early for
pollination by either the hardy or fuzzy kiwi males and vice versa. Pick your
fuzzy kiwi when it is firm in late October to early November, before a killing
frost and let them ripen at room temperature. We do that here at the nursery and
the employees take home a bounty at Christmas.

pronounced as the male. For either, the variegation may take 2-3 years after
planting to show. Female vines bear smooth skinned, delicious fruit that
generally ripens in August, often the first year after planting. Less vigorous
in growth habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens. Will adapt to shady sites.
In hotter climates, full sun can scorch the leaves.
70241

tasty fruit. Frost-hardy yellow flowers appear in late February followed by
fruit which turns bright red when ripe in September. Attractive as either a
shrub or small tree, it grows slowly to 12-15'. Give this plant a half day or
more of sun. Although somewhat tolerant of drought and poor soils, fruit will be
better on rich soils with adequate moisture, with fall applications of manure
increasing vegetative growth. Somewhat self-pollinating but for best fruit set,
two varieties should be planted. Don’t expect fruit for 2-3 years after
planting.

summer often have striking fall foliage colors. Even after leaf fall, the shiny
orange fruit will hang on the bare branches until December, a delightful
landscape subject. If you like to dry fruit, this persimmon dries incredibly
sweet; any residual astringency simply wafts away.

plants. Slightly fragrant white small flowers appear in March. Honeyberry is

MALUS
- Apple — To get the best bounty from your
apple tree you will need a pollinator. Most of the apples listed will
cross-pollinate each other. The rule of thumb with apples is to use two
different varieties that bloom at the same time. If you have another apple tree
in your neighborhood that fits this category, it could be a suitable pollinate.
Trees will fruit to a degree without a pollinator close by, but there will be
less fruit. Also, crabapples make excellent pollinators.

PYRUS PYRIFOLIA
- Asian Pear
— (-20°F, USDA Zones
5-9) For centuries this pear has been valued in Japan and China for its sweet,
crunchy fruit. The rounded fruit has the flavor of a very sweet pear but with a
much firmer texture, almost like an apple. In the spring, you have a beautiful
flowering tree, covering itself with single white flowers. In late summer or
early fall, you get to gather the crop of delicious fruit.
Relatively easy to grow, Asian pears
adapt to a wide range of soil types and can be grown in the shade but full sun
is preferable. They are resistant to fire blight and grow vigorously, bearing
fruit the year after they are planted. They do best when receiving adequate
water. Two different varieties should be used for good pollination. In the
summer, prune to encourage the growth of fruit spurs. Asian pears produce strong
vertical branches. Head these branches back and spread them to maximize fruit
set. To obtain large fruit, thin to one fruit per cluster. Without pruning,
Asian pear trees can reach 20', with pruning 12-15'. It is best to plant them
12-15' apart.

- Currants & Gooseberries — These very hardy
fruiting shrubs are a part of the kitchen garden all over Europe. Gooseberries
and currants are used not only to eat fresh, but also for pies, jams and
condiment blends, by themselves or mixed with other fruit. Gooseberries have a
higher vitamin "C" content than citrus and are quite delicious eaten fresh. They
should be much more widely used in the United States. Currants dry very well and
have a nicer fruit flavor than raisins in most people’s opinion. Aside from the
fruit value, most gooseberries and currants have showy spring blooms!

plants with decorative, delicious fruit and beautiful summer foliage that turns
shades of yellow, orange or red in fall. The fruit can be used fresh, cooked,
canned, dried or frozen. Make the effort to plant them in slightly acidic soil,
with plenty of organic matter and good drainage. Give them regular water and
light fertilizations with extra nitrogen in the spring in most soils and you
will be well rewarded. It may take a few years for your blueberries to become
vigorous plants, but they will if planted correctly.

rabbiteye blueberries with the quality of the Northern Highbush. Add to this the
drought resistance of the wild types from the Appalachian Mountains, and you
have a plant that has great promise for the southern gardener. Chilling
requirements are listed with each variety because they are significantly lower
than what is required for the other types. This makes them exceptional growers
in warm winter areas. All Southern Highbush are self-pollinating, but fruit will
be larger if two or more varieties are planted together.

VACCINIUM
- Cranberries, Huckleberries & Lingonberries
73240 Vaccinium macrocarpon -
Cranberry — (-50°F, USDA Zones 2-7) One of the smallest of all the
Vaccinium, this exceptional mat-forming evergreen plant grows an inch or so
a year. Very attractive small leaves turn red in winter. In spring it flowers
with pink lantern-like flowers. Plant as you would blueberries with moderate
additions of acidic organic matter and/or pumice to lighten heavy soils. Plant
2' apart for a solid groundcover or use in hanging baskets and planters. Prefers
full sun to part shade in areas with hot summers. They need consistent moisture
throughout the summer but they don’t need bog conditions. For most consistent
yields, protect from spring frosts. 6-12" $8.95
71449 Vaccinium ovatum
- Evergreen Huckleberry — (0°F, USDA Zones 7-9) The evergreen huckleberry
offers both great fruit and great beauty for a partially shady to shady place in
the landscape. It grows slowly at first, eventually reaching 12' with a dense,
upright structure and green glossy leaves. In spring small white flowers appear,
later turning red, and maturing to delicious, almost black huckleberries. Native
to the Northwest, this is an excellent plant to naturalize in cool, moist, well
draining areas. Withstands summer drought once established.
