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

Fig - Texas Blue Giant - Sale Price: $171.35 Fig- Texas Blue Giant, Ficus carica 'Texas Blue Giant', is a huge fig with attractive purple skin and a delicious melting amber flesh.  The fruit is very sweet, with an ever bearing habit. A winner in the south, it thrives in Texas and other hot desert areas or can be grown indoors in the North. Texas Blue Giant takes plenty of full sun and nice hot summers, but do keep it moist. Even though figs are very drought tolerant, they will not fruit unless they receive sufficient moisture! This is one of the best fig selections if you live in warm-winter locations. Figs are easy to care for and they are self-fruitful so they do not need a pollinizer. Try planting it in a container if space is limited. Figs are one of the oldest cultivated fruits. It is mentioned several times in the Bible. Try one of these ancient fruits in your yard!

Grape - Concord Seedless - Sale Price: $39.95 The Concord Seedless Grape, Vitis 'Concord Seedless', is a seedless blue-black fruit that is produced on this deciduous fruiting vine. This very productive grape has dark blue fruit that resembles Concord in color and flavor but the clusters and berries are slightly smaller and the fruit is seedless. You’ll get all the flavor, vigor and productivity of the original, but you won’t have to deal with the seeds! It even ripens slightly ahead of the original Concord. It is highly regarded as a pie grape and excellent for fresh eating, jam and jelly and ripens in late September. This grape tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but must have good drainage. Grapes are primarily grown for fruit production in home fruit gardens where they provide good ornamental value: bold summer foliage, showy fruit, some fall color and shaggy, twisted trunking and branching often best seen in winter. Grapes need a good support system like fences, walls, trellises, arbors or other structures. The grape vines can be quite attractive year-round and can provide good cover, screening, or shade to areas around the home. Grapes need full sunlight and high temperatures to ripen, so plant on southern slopes, the south side of windbreaks, or the south sides of buildings. Birds love grapes, so be sure to plant some to share.

Dewberry - Lucretia - Sale Price: $42.75 Dewberry Lucretia’, Rubus roribaccus 'Lucretia’, is a cousin of the blackberry and produces sweet, long, shiny black berries in mid to late summer. This dewberry has dark green foliage that grows on trailing vines that need to be trained on stakes or trellises. If this plant grows on a support it makes for cleaner fruit and easier harvests; otherwise it will trail on the ground and if left to ramble, plants produce a 2- to 3-foot deep tangle of thorny stems. However, the vines should be laid on the ground and protected for the winter with straw or other material, especially in the cold northern climates. Lucretia has blackberry-like dark green foliage and early summer flowers that provide a decorative value in the landscape. The scrumptious berries are long, shiny black and arrive in mid to late summer. Use them as you would any berries in jams, pies, cobblers, turnovers, or just pick and gobble them fresh from the vine! They get their name from the fact that the berries are often seen covered in dew in the early mornings.

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.
