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.
This variety will provide good cross-pollination when paired with the Samdal variety. Samyl has particularly high-quality flowers.has a vigorous, bushy habit that is similar to Samdal, but not as dense. Plants are partially self fruitful, but planting two S. nigra cultivars will assure better fruit production for both.
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.
Anna's Hardy' is a female variety that produces sweet, tender kiwis. Its sweet, white flowers emerge in late spring and give way to summer fruits. It will grow 10-12' tall and wide when trained onto a trellis. Needs hardy male kiwi for pollination.
The hardy red kiwi produces cranberry-red fruits with a sweet-tart flavor. Kiwis are ready to be harvested September through October. It can grow 8-10' tall and wide when trained onto a trellis. Needs a hardy male kiwi for pollination.
