This summer-bearing variety will produce juicy, mildly tart apples in early-mid August. It has showy pinkish-white flowers in the spring and averages at about 12-15' tall and wide. It bears a more abundant crop when pollinated by varieties like 'Red Delicious' and 'Honeycrisp'.
The 'Blenheim' variety is famous in California for its production of sweet, aromatic fruit that is great for canning and drying. Produces fruit that will ripen in mid-late July depending on the climate. Will average at 10-15' tall and wide, but pruning is suggested to maintain its smaller size. Great pollinator for other apricot varieties.
The 'Blackgold' is a semi-dwarf variety that produces delicious, crack-resistant, sweet cherries that are perfect for eating right off the tree. This variety is a great pollinator for other sweet cherry trees and produces consistently large crops of fruit. It will grow 12-15' tall and wide and fruit will ripen in mid-June.
Plants are vigorous, producing long shoots from soil level one growing season and bearing fruit the next. These are removed after bearing and replaced by the current year's growth. This makes the plant easy to prune and manage as a bush. Large fruit clusters with good flavor ripen in August each year. Berries have very high anthocyanin content--very good for you! This is the more productive variety, but both varieties are required for cross pollination in a ratio of 1 Samyl : 5 Samdal.
The 'Celeste' fig variety is one of the most popular fig trees, due to its sweet, rich fruit that is great for fresh eating and long term storage. It is self-pollinating and fruit crop will ripen in July. The 'Celeste' grows an average of 10-15' tall and wide and requires minimal pruning. This variety is generally quite hardy, but will require winter protection in certain climates.
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.
The 'Moonglow' produces large, red-blushed fruit with a soft, juicy texture. Harvest will ripen in mid-September and crop will be more abundant when this tree is paired with other pear varieties, like 'Bartlett' and 'Seckel'. Dwarf variety will get 8-10' tall and wide.
The 'Seckel' produces small, dessert pears that are super sweet with a hint of spice. These sweet, juicy fruits are often used in cooking, canning and fresh eating. This variety gets 15-20' tall and 12-15' wide. Harvest will ripen mid-September.
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.
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'.
The 'Flavor Supreme' pluot is a plum-apricot hybrid that combines all of the most delicious parts of each fruit. This dwarf variety will average at about 12-15' tall and wide.
