Rubus fruticosus Balsors
Viburnum trilobum
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
The Balsors Blackberry is a cold-hardy variety that produces very large, sweet and juicy blackberries late in the summer. They are great for baking and fresh eating.
Balsors Blackberry are floricanes, primarily fruiting on second year canes. Each spring cut back all two-year old canes, leaving only the last year’s growth. This is a self-pollinating variety, so it doesn’t require a second plant nearby to set fruit.
Highbush Cranberry produces attractive white flowers in late June and bears edible fruit that matures to a bright red colour in the late summer.
This shrub, native to much of Canada, is fast growing, and its fruit can be eaten raw or cooked into a sauce.
