Border forsythia is a vigorous grower with an upright, rounded habit that will quickly reach 8-10' tall and 10-12' wide. Its vibrant yellow blooms will appear in mid-spring, before the foliage appears, and will last for a couple of weeks. This variety can handle partial shade, but will bloom better in a full sun environment. Can be pruned back in late spring or early summer after blooms have been spent.
The 'Jupiter Blue' seedless variety grows 6-8' tall and wide and produces large clusters of reddish-blue grapes with a crisp texture and a mild, sweet flavor. This variety is hardy, disease resistant and easy to care for. Fruit ripens in late-August and will turn a deep blue when it's ready for harvesting.
The 'King of the North' is a cold-hardy, disease resistant variety that produces dark purple, almost black grapes. Grapes are juicy and tart, making them perfect for making jellies and juices. These vigorous vines can get 10-20' long, but can be pruned back to a more managable size. Fruit ripens in early September.
