Malus x September Ruby
Rubus odoratus
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
September Ruby is a very cold hardy tree developed for the Prairie Fruit Breeding Cooperative. It is a vigorous grower that is resistant to fire blight and is popular among orchards for its annual production. Its apples are very good for eating and cooking. This tree blooms in mid May for an attractive ornamental.
For fruit production, cross-pollination is required. Apples need to be planted with another Apple or Crab Apple variety.
Note: We do not ship grafted apples to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The Flowering Raspberry is an ornamental shrubby plant that blooms with fragrant light purple flowers throughout the summer and has a large, decorative foliage of bright green leaves. The flowers resemble that of a wildrose, and the foliage turns a bright yellow in the fall. This cultivar produces small red raspberries, similar to that of a thimbleberry, but the fruit is mostly tasteless.
The Flowering Raspberry, also known as Virginia Raspberry or Purple-Flowered Raspberry, makes a great hedge plant and is a good choice for attracting birds to your yard.
