The Honeoye Strawberry is a cold-hardy cultivar that produces large, sweet berries that feature an attractive bright-red color. It blooms with small white flowers and commonly it is a top-selling berry on the market due to its winter hardiness, highly productive crops and self-pollinating nature.
The Honeoye Strawberry is a June Bearing (Short Day) variety, meaning that they typically produce a single, large crop earlier in the season.
The Honoeye Strawberry received the Garden Merit Award of the Royal Horticultural society.
Ranch Elderberry is a vigorous and high-yielding Black Elderberry cultivar. It ripens earlier than other varieties and is smaller and more compact making berry harvest easier. The berries are well-suited for baked goods, jams, jellies, and syrups. They are high in vitamin C and reported to be beneficial for the immune system.
Black Elderberries are considered to be partially self-pollinating. So while they will still produce some berries without cross-pollination, planting with another variety will increase yields. Consider planting with Black Elderberry or Bob Gordon Elderberry.
Warning: the seeds, stems, leaves, roots, and uncooked berries are toxic to humans when eaten in quantity. Berries should be cooked to make them safe for human consumption.
