Autumn Brillianceâ„¢ Serviceberry - Sale Price: $35.95 Spectacular Fall Color and Edible Fruit The Autumn Brillancea is a popular ornamental shrub prized primarily for its fall color and succulent summer berries.  It would look great as a shrub boarder in your yard or grown as a small tree. The Autumn Brillancea is a cultivar of the Apple Serviceberry. It’s a cross between the Downy and Allegheny.  It’s prized particularly for its obovate 5-inch long leaves that turn to a spectacular reddish-orange in the fall. Your Serviceberry will be one of the first plants you notice in the spring.  Before your other plants have awoken to the glory of the new season, the Serviceberry will already be bursting forth in its splendor.  Before its leaves even begin to appear, its 5-peteled clusters of white flowers will stand in sharp contrast to the browns and greys of your transitioning landscape.  Soon you’ll see the flowers give way to small green berries that gradually progress from green to red, and eventually transform into a deep purple.  The fruit is ready for you to enjoy in the early summer.  The Serviceberry is a shrubby, multi-stemmed plant that grows up to 15-25 feet with an equal spread.  It’s tolerant of a wide range of soils so you won’t have to fuss over it in order for it to thrive.    Serviceberries look like large, dark blueberries and taste similar, but with an almond-like accent.  They are commonly eaten raw or used in various jams and pies.  Native Americans and early settlers enjoyed these berries for generations.  The berries were even thought by some to have medicinal properties. The Serviceberry is certainly a hardy ornamental shrub with a lot to offer. * Autumn color* Edible fruit* Hardy

Quince - Spreading - Sale Price: $57.05 Quince - Spreading, Chaenomeles japonica, is an adaptable, easy to grow deciduous thornless shrub that does best in full sun. Also referred to as the Japanese Flowering Quince, this shrub is tolerant of dry soils, and periodic pruning improves bloom. This sprawling plant has crowded gnarled branches and a low crooked habit. Old canes and suckers can be removed every year. The Spreading Quince needs ample room to ramble, so make sure other plants are not nearby that will be affected by its spreading habit. It has dark green foliage and pink to white flowers that appear in late spring or early summer. The leaves are untoothed, dark green above, and pale with a dense felt of grey wool beneath (especially when young). They turn a rich yellow in autumn. The fruits are light golden-yellow, green or orange, usually pear shaped, but sometimes round and apple-shaped. A quince is delicious stewed, baked, made into fruit butter and should not be eaten raw-- almost anything that can be done with apples can be done with quinces!
