Fruit

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.

Prunus fruticosa x Prunus cerasus 'Carmine Jewel'

The 'Carmine Jewel' is a dwarf, shrub-like variety that will grow 6-8' tall and 4-6' side. Cherries are dark red with a small pit and their combination of sweet and tart flavor makes them great for pies, juicing and fresh eating. This variety is extremely cold-hardy and produces consistently heavy yeilds, especially when planted in multiples. Fruit will ripen in mid-late August.

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.
