Duke Blueberry

Duke Blueberry: "Duke Blueberry Prolific, Early-Ripening Blueberry Duke Blueberry is a northern highbush blueberry that produces exceptional fruit. It's such a prolific producer that the branches often droop, so planti  ng one where you have a trellis would work well. These also make a decorative hedge that can't be beat! Blueberries are considered a beautiful, productive plant with spring flowering against dark green foliage, delicious fruit in summer and fiery orange/red foliage for autumn color... and Duke is no exception. Your Duke Blueberry produces blooms late but ripens early, protecting blossoms from late frosts. The spring flowers arrive white with a pink hue. The delicate, bell-shape blossoms present an elegant contrast against the green, leathery foliage. Yellow-orange leaves in autumn round out the ornamental nature of this remarkable blueberry bush. Duke Blueberry is a heavy, consistent producer you can count on to provide you with delicious fruit every year. The medium to large berries are very firm and retain their fresh quality longer than other varieties, so you can easily store some or share a few with friends and neighbors. Duke is particularly renown for its superb berry with a mildly tart flavor. Your Duke Blueberry will grow to 6 feet in height with an 8 foot spread. It has an upright growth habit, and is stem blight as well as deer resistant. Plant your Duke Blueberry in a full sun location in your yard where there are acid soils for best performance. Blueberries are extremely nutritious and have a high vitamin content. So planting a blueberry bush is an investment in not only beauty, but health as well. Duke Blueberry is a great bush to start with for a hardy, easy-to-care-for plant that can be counted on for great performance. * Exceptional fruit* Spring flowers* Fall color* Hardy"

Anna Apple Tree

Anna Apple Tree: "Anna Apple Tree Early Flowers and Fruit on a Fast-Growing Tree Anna Apple Tree, Malus domestica Anna, is a decorative tree that produces edible fruit early in the summer. It's especially well-suited for warmer climates and would do well in a sunny location near your home's windows, lining your driveway... or anywhere you're sure to enjoy every minute of its transition from flower to fruit. There's nothing like the smell of apple blossoms heralding the spring, and your Anna Apple tree will bring that delicate aroma to you early in the season when its branches burst forth in a profusion of petite, pink-tinted blossoms. Anna's display will be a sight to see in your yard each spring, followed by yet another exciting vision as those flowers transition to delicious fruit. The green-tinted, yellow skin of your Anna apple sports a hearty, red blush and the flesh is a taste sensation right off your tree! In its early stages, Anna has been compared to a Grammy Smith. However, as it ripens, Anna increases in sweetness. Anna apples even store well for one to two months (depending upon the storage method), and are terrific used for such culinary delights as apple pancakes, apple pie and a large variety of other tasty treats. Anna Apple Tree will grow up to 30 feet tall with a 30 foot spread. It was developed in Israel and has a low chill requirement that allows it to be grown in warmer climates, where growing apple trees can sometimes be problematic. It will begin to fruit at an early age. It has a semi-spreading nature and is self-fertile (although having another pollinator, such as Dorsett nearby is recommended for optimal performance). Apple trees are always a welcomed sight at any home, and Anna is an exceptional choice, (especially if you live in a warmer climate). Early to flower and fruit, the Anna Apple tree won't make you wait long before you're enjoying the many benefits it has to offer. * Delicious fruit * Spring flowers * Good drought tolerance * Low chill requirement (less than 300 hours) * Self-fertile"

Dragon Lady Holly

Dragon Lady Holly: "Dragon Lady Holly

Ilex x aquipernyi is more commonly known as 'Dragon Lady', a striking name that may invoke vivid images Ð perhaps a strange lady that shouts at birds, and lives in a scary house set back from the road where the shutters are always drawn. That really is not the case though. This is not a scary plant by any stretch of the imagination, and is actually known for forming a tidy and organised pyramidal shape that in winter becomes a veritable berry-laden playground for many birds. It brings year-round glossy dark green spiky foliage to your landscape whilst being low maintenance and easy to shape if you desire; this holly really is an asset to any green space. Tall and slender, it can reach 20 feet high, with its rounded base measuring around six feet if you choose to leave it to its own devices. If you decide that the almost perfect pointed conical shape is not for you then a little effort can shape it to be more columnar; either way, the organised nature of its shape will add great interest to large beds and borders. Alternatively itÕs also an excellent hedging plant that can create shade and privacy for your property."

It grows especially well in zone 5 and is a great choice for the New England region, where it was produced originally.

This peach is an ideal choice for beginners as it is hardy, vigorous and disease-resistant.
