Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chippewa'

The 'Chippewa' is a compact, upright variety that is great for small garden spaces. It will get 3-4' tall and wide, and produces sweet, juicy berries that will ripen in mid-summer. Berries are great for baking, cooking, fresh eating and preserves. Brilliant orange-red fall foliage and white flowers emerging mid-spring create interest all year round. Will do best when planted in organically rich soil amongst other blueberry varieties.

Malus 'Whitney Edible'

The 'Whitney Edible' crab apple produces small, sweet fruits that are great for preserving, canning and making cider. Beautiful pinkish-white blossoms will emerge in spring preceding the fruit set that will ripen in late-August or early-September. Mature size is 12-15' tall and wide. Self-pollinating variety, but will benefit from being grouped with pollinators.
