Frontenac Gris appears to be a multi-use wine grape that is an important addition to northern viniculture. 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.

Raspberry - Killarney - Sale Price: $42.75 The Killarney Raspberry, 'Rubus 'Killarney', is an attractive red berry with great aroma and flavor. This raspberry is excellent for freezing, canning and, of course, pies. One of the most disease resistant varieties, making it very easy to maintain. It is extremely winter hardy and was hybridized in Manitoba. Killarney is very sweet for a raspberry. The bees prefer these to all others, which can make picking a bit challenging at times. This plant tends to bear in clusters that weight down the canes, so support is recommended. The berries are versatile and can be used for fresh eating, 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.

Blackberry - Chester Thornless - Sale Price: $42.75 One of the best self-pollinating blackberry varieties available because of its huge yield, sweet fruit, cold hardiness, resistance to cane blight and, of course, lack of thorns. The fast-growing canes are sturdy, but still require a little support as they can get up to 10’ long. Fruit comes on last year’s growth, usually in July. The juiciest, most flavorful berries come from a life in full sun, attentive watering, proper mulching and good weed control. ‘Chester Thornless’ produces large deeply-flavored, absolutely delicious berries for preserves and freezing, but best of all for fresh use on ice cream or baked into cobblers and pies. The grocery-store price for blackberries is nearly prohibitive these days; when one plant can produce as much as 20 pounds of berries, you can do the math. A must-have in the home garden. Zones 5-8.
