Seeds -The Foundation Stock for a Fruitful Future
Briana Apricot
Selected Zone 3 apricot seed selection and cultivar with a short flowering-fruit set time season to miss late frosts. Pits are used for oil extraction and for an edible nut. The delicious strong flavored small fruit is produced on spurs in great clusters on trees with a timber like growth habit.
Red Planet Plum
Red Planet represents the hybrid population of Dunbarii plum. This is a natural cross of beach and the American plum. It can be grown from seed or grafted as a clonal selection. Heavy yields are produced from a slightly stoloniferous selection. With clean fruit and foliage makes this an ideal fruiting plant for organic production. Per 100 seeds packet.
A Great Apple From Seed
You can find within the apple complex a huge array of diversity including some exceptionally cold hardy selections used for jelly and rootstocks. Such is the case for Kerr. Originally bred and released as a grafted apple from Manitoba in the 1950's this seed source was also grown from seed in some of the coldest regions in Canada. Originally from Lawyers Nursery, I winnowed out the most vigorous trees to create my planting. Per 1000 seeds packets.
Seed Selections for Plums
Using a wide variety of plums helps increase yields and overall success of your plum planting. This last year, I focused on beach plum and its natural hybrids with the highest yields. The cleanest fruiting selections along with immunity to insects and diseases make this a perfect fruit for organic production especially for processing. Decades in the making this is not your average plum seed strain. 300 seeds per packet. Enough to do an acre.
A Rose By Any Other Name
I have always been fascinated by rose hips. I knew they were high in vitamin C. What I didn't know was where do they come from? It turns out that no one one cultivates roses for their hips. So I got busy in the early 80's and created Big Hip by selecting from over 20 species. From seed this is the most productive species even from seed. It also is the most tastiest with a smooth texture and dark red color. Per 1000 seeds.
Mirabelle Plum
Mirabelle plum represents a rare plum species both cultivated and wild collected for its fruits for jams and conserves. From seed, this species is prolific. Immune to black knot but most insects, the trees flourish on my full zone 5 location. Distinctive in flavor and worth growing for processing from jam to syrup.
