The foliage of the plant dies back in the winter after flowering at which time the tubers are harvested carefully to avoid damage to the tubers.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black
$19.75 ($19.75-$34.00 choose a size)

A benefit of a mulberry tree is that the fruit ripens over an extended period of time unlike other fruit that often ripens all at once. The fruits of the black mulberry, considered the tastiest and most versatile of the mulberries are large and juicy with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. The fruit of the dwarf black mulberry is the same as that on the large black mulberry that we all know and love. The fruit is large, resembling a blackberry, sweet and luscious. When not devoured fresh it is ideal to use in jams, wines and mulberry pies. (Dwarf Mulberry Tree Video )This variety performs excellent in the Subtropics.

$18.75
A Northern highbush selection best suited to cooler climates. An excellent variety, with good autumn foliage, and large fruit.

They are one of the few berries that, when frozen and thawed, keep their form and flavour.Tall growing and extremely vigorous this blueberry is prolific. Start picking before Christmas and have blueberries into March. Most important. Blueberries require an acid soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. They also require a free draining loose friable soil.

Peat is preferred as it is naturally acidic.
