Fruit

Vitis labrusca 'Concord'

The 'Concord' grape is an American classic. Sweet, purple grapes ripen in late-September and are ideal for making jams, jellies, grape juice and wine. This seeded variety will grow 15-20' long, but can be pruned to a more managable size if necessary. May need protection from harsh winter winds.

Prunus salicina

The 'Methley' produces large clusters of sweet, purple-red plums that are great for fresh eating, cooking and preserves. This variety is a heavy producer and is quite disease resistant. Will get 10-12' tall and wide and fruit will ripen in mid-July. Fragrant white flowers emerge in early spring, adding seasonal interest.

Prunus salicina 'Shiro'

The 'Shiro' produces large clusters of bright yellow plums with a juicy, rich flesh. This variety is a heavy producer, with fruit ripening late-July through mid-August. This variety reaches 12-15' tall and wide, but can be pruned to maintain a smaller size. Does well when pollinated by other varieties, like the 'Redheart' and 'Methley'.
