Dewberry - Lucretia
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.

Peter's Honey Fig - DetailsPeter'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!
