Honey Bee is utilized for a pollinizer of most varieties, however still produces a suitable crop. Berries are slightly tart and have an ability to 'hang-on' to the plant to reduce drop when ripe. Very suitable for home growers and U-pick, but not mechanical harvesting. Bushes are upright and vigorous, with resistance to leaf powdery mildew. Compatible with Aurora, Borealis, Boreal Beast, Boreal Blizzard, and Tundra.
This University of Saskatchewan introduction produces blueberry-like fruit that ripens as early as Strawberries. Also known as Honeyberries or Blue Honeysuckle, Canadian Haskap are superior to any other Honeyberries with sweeter, wild Blueberry flavour and larger, fleshier fruit not unlike oversize Blueberries. The plant themselves are extremely cold tolerant and these are a great fruit alternative for cold climates.
Available as; 2" Potted and #01 Potted

One of the best-tasting tomatoes. We describe Brandywine's luscious, heirloom flavour as "very rich, loud, and distinctively spicy." The large fruits, often over 1 lb., have a deep pink skin and smooth red flesh. The medium-tall, potato-leaf plant is best staked or caged. Soft skins may crack. Shoulders may remain green when ripe.
Indeterminate. Beefsteak. Heirloom.

Romeo is a hardy deciduous hybrid shrub variety of Sour Cherry released in the Romance Series of Dwarf Sour Cherries from the University of Saskatchewan in 2004. It features dark red/black, flavourful fruit most suitable for fresh eating, processing, and juice production. Although sour is in their name, they can be surprisingly sweet when harvested at the right stage of ripeness. Romeo is also suitable as an accent or landscape shrub. Grows well as a bushy shrub instead of pruning into a single-trunked tree.
Available as: 2" Potted (1 year), #01 Potted (2 year) or #02 Potted (3 year)
