Viburnum opulus var. americanum (trilobum)
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
Schubert Chokecherry is similar to a western chokecherry but features beautiful purple-red leaves throughout the summer.
This small, flowering tree is perfectly suited as an ornamental for city yards.
The fruit from this tree is a staff favourite for jams, jellies, and wines.
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.
