Pixwell Gooseberry produces small to medium, pink berries with excellent sweet/tart flavor on nearly thornless canes that can be eaten fresh or transformed into jellies and pies. Very cold hardy, these plants require very little maintenance after establishment.
Captivator Gooseberry is a European-American hybrid that produces very sweet, 1 inch, teardrop-shaped, red berries in large clusters that can be used in jellies, jams and juice on semi-thornless canes.
Black Velvet Gooseberry boasts high yields of large, dessert quality, dark red fruit. The plants are vigorous and very disease resistant.
The darker skinned selection of the Lucy apples, Lucy Rose has deep red skin and bright red flesh and a strong berry flavor.
Lucy Glo is the lighter skinned selection of the Lucy apples and looks very similar to Mountain Rose with a dark red flesh that seems to almost bleed through the skin. Very sweet apple but with a tart berry flavor to balance the sweetness.
A unique fig from Southern France, Ravin de Calce is particularly handsome with shiny black skin and a bright strawberry flesh. Produces a decent sized breba crop followed by a very productive main crop. Both are delicious with flavors of sweet berries and honey!
A great mid season fig that also produces a decent sized breba crop, Sultane should certainly be added to the list of great dark berry figs for shorter seasons.
Another gem from Louisiana State Univeristy’s fig breeding program, Jack Lily is an excellent early to mid season honey fig that like seemingly every other introduction, either formal or kept alive by enthusiasts, this one too resists splitting and retains an excellent flavor well into our wet falls
