ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Originally created in Russia, this apple tree is incredibly cold hardy and commonly used as a root stock for other apple breeds.
Cross pollination is required with another apple or crabapple tree in order for fruit to be produced. Generally, fruit production does not occur until the tree has reached 5-7 years of age.
Its fruit are yellow/green, low sugar, late fruiting and great for pies and cider.
Note: Unfortunately this difficult to grow species is not currently scheduled to grow at TreeTime.ca. Perhaps try purchasing seed from SeedTime.ca and growing your own? Or sign up for a restock notification above.
White Lights Rhododendron is part of the Northern Lights Series, cold hardy, and deciduous. In late spring you'll be drawn to its fragrant white blooms. In fall, the foliage turns a beautiful purple-bronze color. Pruning is recommended after the flowers are spent to control the size and shape of this shrub.
White Lights Rhododendron should be your next hedge/screen, or plant it on its own as a specimen plant.
