Osage Orange - Sale Price: $17.95 Strong and Hardy Ornamental The Osage Orange is a small to medium sized tree that can grow almost anywhere.  People often choose it as an ornamental, and it would look lovely as a side planting in your yard, or even as a hedge along a boarder. The Osage generally stays under 30 feet in height, and can make an excellent shade tree.  You’ll love its rounded, irregular crown that will add some unique distinction to your landscape.  The 6 inch lance-shaped leaves are a dark robust green, a perfect shade to contrast the many lighter green shades of summer.  You’ll notice small green flowers as they begin to grace the Osage’s branches in the spring, and love the citrus scent of its fruit in the fall.   The Osage has a rich history.  It was often used by ranchers as a natural property fence.  The Osage’s strong wood, hardy nature and thorny branches all combined to make hedges that were effective in holding in livestock.   Think of the fun you’ll have telling friends and neighbors about the “living barbed wire” from the old west that you have growing in your yard!   The Osage is still valued its incredibly strong wood.  In fact, archers still prize the wood for making bows just as American Indians did in the past.    The Osage fruit consists of a 6 inch wrinkly ball that changes from green to yellowish when ripe.  It’s not used as food by humans, but squirrels and other wildlife love it.  For a unique ornamental tree with a lot of year round appeal, the Osage is a great choice. * Ornamental tree* Fall fruit* Hardy

Strawberry - Surecrop - Sale Price: $42.75 Strawberry Surecrop, Fragaria × ananassa 'Surecrop', is a heavy producer of large, firm, rich but sweet fruit in mid-season. 'Surecrop' is an easy-to-grow crop and it makes great jams, jellies, pies, tarts, and an ideal canner. The berries redden all the way through, with a rich but sweet flavor. The fruit holds well both on the vines and after picking. June bearing strawberries produce a single crop each year during a 2-3 week period.

The average yield of one quart per plant and it is self-pollinating. Light to even sandy soil with good drainage is required. Neutral to slightly acidic is best. Strawberry plants need consistent, frequent watering to produce well.

NOTE: When making a strawberry bed in an established garden, be sure to locate it away from any spot where you have grown peppers, tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes. These plants can harbor verticillium wilt, which is devastating to strawberries.

Fig - Brown Turkey - Sale Price: $171.35 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.
