Raspberry - Logan
Raspberry - Logan Raspberry Logan, Rubus strigosus 'Logan', has black raspberries, affectionately known as Blackcaps by growers. They are native to North America. These uniquely flavored berries are popular in specialty foods, especially jams and ice cream, and are used as a coloring agent as well. The fruit is blue-black, round and small (2.0 g), and exhibits a whitish bloom on the exterior of the berry. Logan Raspberry has a distinct and moderately tart flavor, small seed and like the red raspberry, contains a hollow core. The bush will bear only on one-year-old stems. As soon as canes have produced fruit, prune them back to the ground to make room for the strong new canes. Additional pruning will be required to eliminate tangling and improve their ability to bear. Raspberry Logan is a very hardy and dependable producer. Tart and Tasty!

| 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! |
| Desert King Fig - Sale Price: $42.75 Fig - Desert King, Ficus carica 'Desert King', is a good choice for cooler climates. It is a large, deep green fig with strawberry red flesh. The King Fig Tree is a heavy producer of excellent quality, sweet figs. The tree sets a large early crop from June to August, then sets a secondary crop. Because it ripens in mid-summer, Desert King is a great variety for gardeners in coastal, high elevation, and other cool regions. It makes a good container tree in colder climates as well. Figs are wonderful for fresh eating and make delicious jam and dried fruit. 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. |
