Liberty dwarf Apple

 -Full Sun–  Dwarf on Bud 9, space 6′-10′ apart (stake), needs pollinator

Mid September.   Touted as the most disease-resistant of the PRI apples, this tree has performed remarkably well for us, producing flawless shiny fruit with minimum of care.   Seems to resist insect damage as well as fungal diseases.  We recommend Liberty the most of all our apples.   Fruit is deep purple-red on the sun side and bright green on the shade side, having a flavor like a more sprightly and crisp McIntosh.   Need to thin this variety heavily or fruit size can be small.   A decent keeper in storage.

Gallon* pots $24, 2-gallon* pots $36, 4-gallon* pots $48

Arkansas Black semi-dwarf Apple

 -Full Sun–  Semi-Dwarf on M-111, Space 15′-20′ apart, Needs Pollinator

Early November.   An heirloom apple most often noted for its disease resistance, general hardiness and outstanding keeping abilities.   Very late to ripen, fruits are a gorgeous dark purplish-red and rock hard at picking.  Time in storage softens them a little and the flavor goes towards the sweet side.   Extremely good storage apple–we still have some that are soft but edible in our fridge in May!

Niwot Black Raspberry

(Rubus occidentalus) -Full Sun to Part Shade–  mild flavor, huge berries, everbearing, vigorous grower

Produces a crop on last year’s canes at the same time as ‘Jewel’, and then another crop late summer on its current spring growth (like the everbearing or fall bearing red raspberries). Vines are very vigorous and productive, but the flavor is milder (read: less flavorful) than most black raspberries.

Jewel Black Raspberry

Early season.   A time-tested variety which still holds the main spot in nursery catalogs, and for good reason.   Black glossy berries about twice the size of wild black raspberries, twice the yield, and strong, anthracnose-resistant canes.   Definitely needs trellising or you will wind up with tip-rooted plants everywhere!   Has all the flavor of wild black raspberries—simply delectable!   Canes can grow over 10’ long; best to tip at 5′.   Space 2.5’ apart in row.  Needs well drained soil or a raised bed. Self fertile.

Amorpha False Indigo Bush

(Amorpha fruiticosa) -Full to Part Sun–  Native nitrogen fixing shrub up to 18′ tall, but can be coppiced

Amorpha fruiticosa is an attractive native wildflower shrub. It is a legume, and is often used in permaculture plantings as a nitrogen fixer – usually with the plan to coppice the bush (“chop & drop”) because it will reach a fairly substantial size if not chopped down frequently. 15-18′ tall and spreading up to twice that width. NOT edible, it’s practical benefits are mostly beauty, nitrogen fixing and soil stabilization, and it also has some potential as a natural insecticide. Fast growing, thornless.
