Male Hardy Kiwi

(Actinidia arguta) -Full Sun to Part shade–  pollinator for all arguta kiwis, zone 4b-8

Pollinator for all our A. arguta varieties (all that we carry), not for A. kolomikta or A. deliciosa.  Grows as large as Annanasnaya but can be kept pruned back if you need the space.  Will not form fruit, solely for pollination.  Zones 5-8.

LSU Groundnut

(Apios americana) -Full to Part Sun–  Large edible tubers, nitrogen fixing, attractive, frangrant flowers.

An improved variety of a native plant developed at LSU. There are reports of the tubers reaching the size of basketballs, but they will likely be smaller in our climate. Wait at least 2 years before first harvest. Tubers and seeds are both edible, and have high protein content for a tuber (17%). Prefer rich, well drained soil. Flowers are fragrant, very pretty, orchid like, smallish, and born in clusters.

Ken’s Red Female Hardy Kiwi

(Actinidia arguta) -Full Sun to Part shade–  large Red fruit, requires male for polination, zone 4-9

Fruit red-skinned and red-fleshed when ripe.  One of the largest fruited hardy kiwis (still much smaller than fuzzy kiwis).  Sets large crops and may become alternate-year bearing for this reason (bears a crop every other year).  Needs male for pollination.  Zones 6-9.

seedling of ‘Kanza’ Improved Northern Pecan

(Carya illinoisensis) -Full Sun to Part Shade–  plant two for pollination, height 30-50’ by 25-35’ wide

Improved hardy pecan seedlings.  Pecans can be successfully grown in the North.  Smaller nuts than the Georgia papershell pecans, but still an amazing amount of nutmeat in very easy to crack shells.  Need 2 for pollination.   Height 30-50’ by 25-35’ wide.  Should have no hardiness problems into zone 5.  North of that, plant at your own risk!

Seedling Redbud

 -Full to Part Sun–  Attractive native landscaping specimen. Edible flowers taste like pea shoots.

A legume, but not actually very good at fixing nitrogen. Nevertheless, this beautiful native ornamental tree with edible flowers deserves a place in your landscape.

Concord Blue Seeded Grape

(Vitis spp.) -Full Sun–  vigorous, disease resistant

Deep blue seeded grape.  Really decent for eating fresh (in my opinion), but in most people’s opinion best for juice and jelly because of the large seeds and tart, strong flavor.  Welch’s Grape Juice is made from Concord grapes.  Vigorous, disease-resistant plant, great for slightly shady or neglected spots where other grapes could not perform.  Likes hot summers and ripens late in the season–not for short season or cool summer areas.

Late season.  Developed in Russia, known to be one of the most productive varieties.  Name means “pineapple-like” in Russian.   Steady producer and easy to grow.  Fruits are round-oblong, and very sweet.  Needs male for pollination.  Zones 5-8.

Kiwis for the North!  Not as large as the fuzzy kiwifruit, but with smooth, edible skin, much sweeter, and unbelievable flavor!  Taste almost perfumed with floral qualities.  Vines are breathtakingly beautiful with bright green leaves and red stems.  Trellis these in the garden or on your house for an edible and beautiful vine.  Can take shade but will fruit best in half-day to full sun (prefers afternoon shade if possible).  Vines grow fast and become very tenacious once established (‘Issai’ is somewhat smaller).   Needs sturdy trellis.   Male and female plants needed for pollination (except for ‘Issai’ which is self-fertile) but only one male needed for 8 females (keep within 50′ of male).  Space 15′ apart on trellis.

Seedling American x Chinese Chestnut

(Castanea dentata X mollissima) -Full to Part Sun–  Seedlings from 15/16th American blight resistant crosses. Not all will be resistant.

Seedlings from blight resistant crosses (natural Non-GMO), parents were 15/16 American, and exhibited American chestnut growth form (tall timber type). Only a small percentage of these seedlings will be totally blight resistant, so plant a lot of them and be part of the movement to bring back America’s majestic chestnut tree!

Issai Hardy Kiwi

(Actinidia arguta) -Full Sun to Part shade–  self fertile, semi dwarf, zones 5-9

Slightly smaller plant and self-fertile.  Fruits at a younger age than our other kiwis–often fruiting in their pots their second year.  Great for smaller trellises and where there is no room for a male as well.  Will produce more fruits with a male.  Green stems rather than red, so a little less showy but still gorgeous.  Fruits are longer and more “barrel shaped” than ‘Annanasnaya’, but still just as sweet and tasty.  Space 8′ apart on trellis.  Technically zones 6-9, but we’ve had zero issues with hardiness here in southern Indiana.

Native Eastern seedlings  Hazelnut

(Corylus americana) -Full sun to shade–  edible ornamental, 6-8′ tall with equal spread, plant two for pollination

A lovely landscape accent plant or hedge that also bears prolific crops of nuts. Since these are wild seedlings, the nuts are small compared to the improved filberts and the shells thicker. Nuts about the size of a pea when shelled out but very tasty and sweet!  Plants are a little slow to get going but really take off after their second year in the ground. Shrubby growth gets 6-8’ tall with equal spread.  Fall foliage is stunning with colors all over the spectrum.  Showy male catkins in the winter and spring. Immune to Eastern Filbert Blight. Plant two for pollination. Can take shade to full sun. Space 4-8’ apart.
