‘Reka’ Blueberry

$13.00

High yielding blueberry for the Kootenays. Medium-sized fruits are dark blue and ripen around the same time as Duke. Excellent for fresh eating and processing. Plants are vigours and cold hardy.

Adaptable to a wide range of northern climates and soil types, Reka produces early-ripening, medium-sized berries with an exceptionally rich flavour and pleasing aroma. Surprisingly high yields and beautiful burgundy red fall colour on this 4 -6 ft. bush makes Reka a must-have for every blueberry lover. Dark blue fruits ripen about the same time as Duke, but the berries have better flavour. Developed in New Zealand, Reka is a Northern Highbush variety that grows best in temperate climates where total winter chilling is 1,000 hours or more. Its fruits are excellent for fresh eating and processing. Vigorous and fast growing, Reka Blueberry is also a good choice for local farm markets and u-pick markets. May require support wires due to heavy yields!

‘Razz’ Blueberry

$16.00

An amazing flavour! Not available in grocery stores because it’s too delicate for mass shipping. Fat, juicy berries are a pretty periwinkle blue and are simply splendid for fresh eating. It’s one of our favourites for its distinctly raspberry-flavoured notes making it taste more like huckleberry. Razz also takes well to baking and preserves. Also an extremely attractive landscape plant, with a flaming foliage show in the fall. Disease-resistant. Ripens in July-August. Northern highbush. Developed by Frederick Coville at the USDA in 1934. Self-pollinating.

‘Leikora’ Sea Buckthorn [Female]

$18.00

This female cultivar of Sea Buckthorn was selected for high yields, of large fruits rich in Vitamins A, C (about 7 times more than lemons) & E, antioxidants and omega 3 oils. Don’t just focus on the fruit though, the leaves can be dried and used for tea! This is a vigorous and attractive shrub that can grow 10-12 ft. in height if not pruned. Tolerant of alkaline and salty soil, and very cold hardy. Needs a male pollinizer for fruit set.

During the Cold War, East Germany used them as a healthful substitute for orange juice. The fruit is also unique for its oil content, which is used as a treatment for burns and skin diseases as well as for ulcers and other illnesses. You will often see Sea Buckthorn as an ingredient in many nutritional supplements and cosmetics. Sea Buckthorn berries can also be processed into fruit leather, purees and jams. Harvest out fruit by hand or by cutting off the fruit-laden branches and freezing them. The frozen berries can easily be shaken off and, after thawing, make great juice and preserves. Like cranberry juice, Sea Buckthorn juice is usually diluted with up to 70% water.
