Cranberry - Ben Lear - Sale Price: $39.95 Cranberry Ben Lear, Vaccinium 'Ben Lear', is a burgundy-red color, and its early fruiting period and large size is prized for processing into sauces. 'Ben Lear' is very productive. As crop plants go, cranberry is relatively undomesticated. Many popular varieties - including Ben Lear, is favored in Wisconsin because its fruit also turns a deep red earlier in the season. Grow Ben Lear in the fruit or vegetable garden for the food crop. Ornamentally, may be grown as a small scale ground cover for sunny areas or in the shrub or mixed border in front of other acid-loving plants such as azaleas and rhododendrons. Ben Lear ripens early season. Harvest berries by hand when red, from late September to late October. Berries cannot stand a frost below 30°F, so it is best to pick them before a hard frost or protect them with covers. Cranberries are one of the healthiest sources for getting your vitamin C and protecting your body against urinary track infections. More studies are showing other beneficial effects because of their high antioxidant.

Lime - Kaffir - Sale Price: $126.95 The Kaffir Lime produces a dark green, bumpy fruit with leaves, zest, and juice that's used in Thai, Cambodian, and Indonesian cooking. Even the leaves are often used as an essential ingredient for flavoring many Asian dishes such as soups, curries and fish. This dwarf citrus tree, reaching up to 5 feet tall, can be grown outdoors year round in zones 9-10, but it is best suited for indoors. The Kaffir Lime tree thrives in potted environments and does well when grown on the patio or deck; in colder climates it needs to be brought indoors during winter. Its container needs to provide adequate drainage, and it prefers full sun in moist soil. This tree is prone to root rot if kept too wet, so it is best to allow the soil to dry out some between waterings. If grown indoors, keep near a sunny window.

Peter's Honey Fig - Sale Price: $42.75 The Peter’s Honey Fig produces very sweet, shiny, high quality, and greenish yellow fruit when ripe. The fruit tastes syrupy and honey-like. This fig will melt in your mouth! Peter's Honey Fig is superb for fresh eating. These figs can be used for drying and canning too. It has good cold tolerance, but it requires a warm location with a southern exposure in order to ripen, especially in the maritime Northwest. In other words, it requires a sunny, hot exposure in cooler areas. If a fig is killed to the ground because of cold weather, it will come up with new growth when the weather warms up. An excellent way to get figs to produce ripe fruit in colder climates is to plant potted figs when the weather warms up. Plant the pot with the rim a few inches above ground level. Roots will go through the drain holes at the bottom of the pot and produce nutrients for the plant. When the leaves fall in late fall, dig the pot up and store inside. Replant again next spring. This tree thrives in full sun and in the South it ripens its first crop in May and a later crop in October and November. Peter's Honey Fig originated in Sicily. Sweet Fruit!
