Fruit

Malus x domestica 'Golden Russet'

The 'Golden Russet' variety produces intensely sweet-tart apples that are great for baking and juicing. Fruit ripens in mid-October and will benefit from cross-pollination. They average at about 10-12' tall and wide.

Malus x domestica 'Spartan'

The 'Spartan' produces a generous crop of small, plum-colored apples that are crisp and sweet. They ripen in early October and are great for both juicing and eating. This variety averages at 10-15' tall and 8-10' wide and will benefit from having other pollinating varieties in the area.

Ficus carica 'Olympian'

The 'Olympian' produces two crops of large, sweet fruit that is great for canning, eating and drying. It grows 10-12' high and 8-10' wide. This variety is self fertile, but will benefit when more than one is planted.

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 persica 'Arctic Glo'

The 'Arctic Glo' nectarine has the perfect balance of sugar and acidity. This deliciously sweet fruit will ripen late-June to early July and is highly recommended for home nurseries. It stays 10-12' tall and wide and is self-fertile, though it will bear larger crop when planted with other varieties.

Prunus persica var. nucipersica 'Flavortop'

The 'Flavortop' is a dwarf variety that produces stunning fruit with rich, red skin and sweet, yellow flesh. It bears abundantly large crops, and produces even higher yeilds when paired with other varieties. Mature height will be 12-15' tall and wide. Beatiful pink flowers emerging in early spring add seasonal interest.

Prunus x domestica 'President'

The 'President' plum is popular among commercial growers due to its vigorous growth rate and heavy fruit production. This variety produces large clusters of dark blue fruit with a juicy, yellow fresh that are great for baking and preserving. Fruits will ripen in mid-August. Semi-dwarf variety gets 10-12' tall and wide. Dwarf will reach 6-8' tall and wide.

Prunus domestica 'Yellow Egg'

This dwarf variety produces golden yellow, egg-shaped plums. These plums are generally used for cooking, but their delicious honey flavor and tangy skin make them great for canning, jamming and fresh eating. This variety gets 8-10' tall and wide.
