Due to import restrictions we are unable to ship Blackberries to Europe...
An erect thornless blackberry similar to Arapaho with larger fruit and seed, ripening 15 days later than Arapaho. Resists orange rust. Fruits are sweet when ripe. Very productive. Tip new canes at 42" during growing season. The newest thornless blackberry introduction from U of AR breeding program. Selected because of its great flavor, good yield and very large fruit. Six week ripening period. Space 5' apart in 5' wide rows. For one plant space plant in a 6' circle. Zone 6-8.
The earliest ripening thornless variety. Lots more to pick at once because it ripens its fruit in a 4 week period. Can be planted farther south. Arapaho needs only 400-500 chill hours.(hours with temperatures below 45 degrees F) Plant Patent # 8510. The outstanding characteristics of Arapaho are its thornless, erect, self supporting canes, good fruit quality, earliness of ripening and its ability to establish a full fruiting row quickly. Zone 6-8.
Extremely large berry, 10 fill a half-pint container. The best quality and best firmness of all varieties. Long harvest season of 6 weeks. Heavy producer. 1996 Univ. of Arkansas introduction. Thorny bush. Kiowa is a low chilling variety, probably as low as 200 hours. Native Space 5' circle or 5' apart in 5' wide beds. Zones 6-9. Plant Patent #9861
Semi-erect vigorous productive blackberry, that needs no staking. The story behind the plant deserves telling. Bill Schultz of the North American Fruit Explorers, upon visiting an experimental station in WA state, was told of a two-acre test plot of seedling thornless blackberries that were going to be removed. He sampled the whole 2 acres and found one seedling outstanding in the field. He sent a sample of the plant to Edible Landscaping. We've had it at the nursery for years an it has become a favorite of visitors. It has a very long period of ripening and fruits for 6-8 weeks with lots of berries at every picking. Space 5' apart in 5' wide rows or 6' circle for one plant. Zones 6-8.

Prime-Jan (apf-8) Primocane- fruiting blackberries.
This unique type of blackberry fruits on current season canes (primo canes) in late summer. Also they fruit on second season canes (floricanes) as most blackberries do. So this new variety is like everbearing raspberries.
Prime-Jan resulted from a cross of Ark. 1836 and Arapaho. The crosses were made in 1994 at the university of Arkansas Fruit Substation, Clarksville.
Average floricane berry weight of Prime-Jan ranged from 3.7 to 6.4 g.
Prime-Jan's performance in Oregon was exceptional compared to Arkansas. Though good yields were harvested from both locations, some locations in OR yielded 5 times the weight in berries compared to Arkansas. The differences in yield were attributed to high summer temperatures at bloom time in Arkansas. Sweetness of fruits is comparable to Arapaho. Fruits on new canes ripen around September till frost.
Canes of Prime-Jan are thorny and erect. Japanese beetles can damage summer flowers. Zone 6 -7. Space 5' circle. (Prime-Jan is a trade marked plant)

Berries - Strawberries
Due to import restrictions we are unable to ship Strawberries to Europe...
A large berry with exceptional fruit quality. Replaces Selva that ripens at a similar time. Plant form is more erect - easy to pick. Fewer small berries so cull rate is lower. Introduced from the U of CA.
Characterized by its exceptional fruit quality and excellent flavor, very large fruit sizes (30-31 grams per fruit), and a plant form compact and erect. Diamante begins fruiting two or three weeks later than Aromas. The internal fruit color is lighter than other ever bearers, so there are better choices for processing for jams, etc. Zone 6-9.
Very good runner producer, excellent as a ground cover. Needs minimal care but weed maintenance is important. Everbearing and tolerates slightly acidic soil. Performs best in drier summer climates like west of the MS. Growing well here at Edible. In colder climates mulch for winter. Small white fruit with excellent flavor, similar to wild strawberry varieties but not from seed, giving it substantial advantage in production. Best in zone 3-9.

We send an oak log 42" long ready to transform, when conditions are right, into shiitake mushrooms. The log continues fruiting for 4 years. Logs can be completely covered with shiitake. Easy growing instructions are sent with the log. Basically the log is placed in dappled shade, watered regularly, and nature does the rest. It should be noted Shiitake logs are not like growing a plant. They will not produce unless they have ideal conditions. Logs have fruited before they are ever delivered to us, so we know they are viable. Logs will not fruit if to cold or to hot. Care guide included. Due to the unpredictability of mushrooms and the variable climatic conditions, we make no guarantee as to successful crops and do not replace logs that perform poorly.

If you want to try a palm in your garden, I suggest you start with the hardiest ones: windmill palm or palmetto. The ideal spot for a palm in your garden will have some protection from winter winds. This doesn't matter as much on the coast, but it can be important in say north GA.
The temperatures given regarding cold hardiness are for general guidelines only. Older specimens can survive lower temps than younger ones. A palm that can survive 5 degrees F. for a few hours cannot survive for several days like that. Young palms are more susceptible to cold than older specimens, so don't hesitate to give them some winter protection. (not an edible palm) Zone 7.

(Sabal palmetto) is the native palm tree of the southeast coast. It is the state tree of FL and SC whose flag it graces. Palmetto is not as hardy as the windmill palm, but there are specimens growing as far north as Atlanta. It benefits from protection from winter winds in the northern half of the state.
With their unusual form and growth habit, palms are unlike any other plants in the world. Whether it is coconut palms on a south Pacific island, date palms along the Nile or a row of Cabbage Palmettos lining a street in Savannah, there is something special and regal about these plants.
Mature palmetto has long sprays of attractive black berries. In late winter mockingbirds and brown thrasher lay claim to them and gobble down three of four at a time before flying off.
Palm seedlings look like pleated grass. Young palm plants make excellent houseplants until they are large enough to plant outside.

Success will vary with every location so be sure to give it the warmest, most protected place. Space 8' to 10' circle in Zone 7. Zones 6-8.
Very reliable, prolific producer of early to late delicious figs. One of the best figs to come along for some time. Excellent for containers, producing early figs as soon as growth starts. Very acclimated to the fluctuating weather of the South, does great in Virginia Beach. Zones 7-9. Has fruited well at our nursery (zone 7). Best to pick a few days after fruit turns black, wrinkles and elongates. Space 10' to 12' circle
At our nursery Lattarulla ripens its yellow figs earlier then all others, usually starting in June or July. Because of fluctuating winter weather, these buds can become damaged and not fruit as much as in milder regions such as the Pacific Northwest. The fall crops are inferior fruit because they need pollination like the King fig they resemble. Also called Danny's Delight, this fig has ripened its fruit near Lake Michigan outside. Figs are large, pale green to yellow, sweet and delicious. Fruits are well worth the effort since they are the first to ripen, usually in mid-June at our nursery. Success will vary in zones 6-8.

The following description comes from Lon Rombough, a grape enthusiast,author,nurseryman living near Portland, OR.
Kay Gray. A white grape bred by Elmer Swenson in Osceola, Wisconsin. Found almost by accident. One year, Mr. Swenson was ill and didn't spray his vineyard. One seedling vine stood out for it's health and freedom from downy mildew. The clusters and berries are many, with a labrusca flavor. Flavor varies with climate, ranging from a rather ordinary labrusca to a pleasant fruity flavor depending on where it is grown. In addition to the good resistance to disease, the vine has withstood -42 degrees F without damage. The vines are vigorous. Vines can be trained to cordons with three bud spurs, or to canes to insure more crop. Liked by organic growers, the clusters are pleasant to eat.
Kay Grey is a cross between MN 78 and Golden Muscat.
