Orange - Moro Blood
Moro Blood Orange is a variety of orange with crimson, blood-colored flesh. The fruit is smaller than an average orange, and its skin is usually pitted, but can be smooth. It is known for its high content of Vitamin C, Potassium and Carotene. It is easy to peel, medium-size and is usually seedless. Culinary Chefs who want to add visual appeal and outstanding flavor to salads, sauces, appetizers, and desserts, are making this orange quite popular. Deliciously sweet and slightly sour, the Moro Blood Orange offers a raspberry overtone and tends to be slightly less acidic than other oranges.  By the time the fruit matures, the flesh is deep red. For best results, place your dwarf citrus tree on a porch or patio in the spring, summer and early fall. As winter approaches and temperatures begin to drop in the thirties, bring your tree indoors and place in a window with a western or southern sun exposure. It prefers full sun, fertile, but well drained soil, and moderate water.

Dewberry - Lucretia - DetailsDewberry - 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.
