Fig - Brown Turkey
Fig- Brown Turkey, Ficus carica 'Brown Turkey', has the longest ripening season of the recommended varieties. The fruit is medium to large, with a reddish-brown skin tinged with purple. The pulp is reddish-pink and of good quality. It is subject to cracking in wet weather and has a larger eye than Celeste and hence will sour more quickly. The fruit is excellent for making home preserves. Plentiful sunlight is a key to maximizing fruit production. Choose an area that is in the sun most or all of the day. Figs grow extremely well along the Texas Gulf Coast. However, the trees require cold protection in the far northern and western areas and supplemental irrigation in the state's drier areas. The fig fruit is unique. Unlike most fruit in which the edible structure is matured ovary tissue, the fig's edible structure is actually stem tissue. The fig fruit is an inverted flower with both the male and female flower parts enclosed in stem tissue.

Raspberry - Latham - DetailsRaspberry - Latham - Sale Price: $42.75
The Latham Raspberry, 'Rubus 'Latham', is a popular red raspberry that produces large crops of big juicy berries. It makes a delicious jam or a dessert as well as for fresh eating. Latham is a sure cropper for home use as this variety starts ripening in July and continues to ripen over a long period of time. Latham is a hardy, older cultivar bearing somewhat in fall and is suitable for inter-mountain regions. This raspberry has become a standard in early-bearing garden and pick-your-own operations. The berries are versatile and can be used as fresh fruit, in preserves, or in pies and pastries. Raspberries may be grown successfully at an elevation as high as 7,000 feet. They do best in full sun on non-alkaline, fertile loam soil. However, they may be grown in partial shade or under other environmental constraints. Natural protection against strong winter winds are provided in some valleys, but in other areas it is necessary to provide artificial protection during winter months. Although a well-drained soil is essential for success, a sandy soil will need to have plenty of organic matter incorporated in preparation. Raspberries need a plentiful supply of moisture throughout the growing season. Raspberries take little space and live for years. Birds also love the fruit, so you may have to share the harvest!
