Centennial Variegated Kumquat

Centennial Variegated Kumquat
Kumquat - Centennial Variegated
 Not Your Typical Kumquat! If your jaw doesn’t tighten when you think of a sour kumquat, then you’ve probably never had a kumquat. They can be really tart! But the Centennial Variegated Kumquat isn’t like any of the others. This one is unique in looks as well as taste. To begin with, it tastes like a cross between a kumquat and a mandarin orange - sweet and tangy, not sour like you’d expect. Another way this beautiful tree stands out is the coloration. The leaves are a variegated yellow and green stripe, which is unusual for citrus. The fruit themselves are also striped – yellow with green stripes while they are growing turning to orange with red stripes when they mature. Truly a strikingly beautiful fruit. Even though it flowers in fall and the fruits ripen in late winter, it can hold its fruit for months at a time so that there appear to be fruits and flowers on the tree year round in the right climates. If you don’t live in the right climate though, don’t fret. This tree grows great in a pot by a sunny window, giving you that citrus tree scent year round. Nature Hills only sells trees that are a minimum three years old. Because of this they have extensive branching and some of the largest root systems available. We take pride in delivering you the highest quality citrus trees with healthy roots and full, well-established stems and foliage. Order yours today! * Striking variegated Foliage and Fruit * Tree Holds Fruit Throughout Winter * Fragrant The Garden Swap

Black Satin Blackberry

Black Satin Blackberry"Heavy Producing Thornless Blackberry Vine Black Satin Blackberry (Rubus fruiticosus ‘Black Satin’) is the blackberry vine that kids have dreamed of since “Little House on the Prairie” made blackberry pickin’ look so fun. The biggest complaint of berry-picking is those nasty thorns! Black Satin has done away with that, leaving you with only the joy of the luscious berries. Black Satin is a great blackberry that is a hardy grower in most of the US. It thrives in the hot summers of the Midwest and Deep South, but will sail through even a Northern winter if it’s coddled with a little mulch to protect it. These are wonderful plants for the backyard food garden. They are very vigorous and disease-free. They require very little from you, other than yearly pruning. Black Satin doesn’t even produce suckers! This vine can be counted on to produce nice big crops of fruit every year in mid-summer. Each thornless stem will produce 35-40 berries…and these berries will knock your socks off with their sweet/tart flavor. Nature Hills ships out healthy, thick-stemmed vines that will get you off to a great gardening start. You’ll want to plant a couple because you can never have enough blackberries, right? (Besides, the cross-pollination will ensure you those big yields.) Order yours today and enjoy berries next summer! * Thornless canes* Juicy sweet berries* Easy care for the home garden"
