ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Gray dogwood is a thicket-forming, deciduous shrub with greenish-white blossoms in open, terminal clusters. Young twigs are red and the fruit pedicels remain conspicuously red into late fall and early winter.
Fruit itself is a white, 1/4 in. drupe that usually does not remain on the shrub for long.
Great for naturalizing wild areas, this shrub attracts birds and other wildlife.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Gray Dogwood seeds at SeedTime.ca.
Red River Raspberry is a cold hardy and adaptable raspberry. Its berries are smaller than typical raspberries and ripen from August until frost. The berries are firm, ruby red and excellent for eating right from the bush.
Red River Raspberry is a primocane-fruiting variety, meaning that it produces fruit on first years' growth. Prune stalks down each winter or early spring to get higher fruit yields and easier harvesting.
