(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.

(Vitis spp.) -Full Sun– vigorous, disease resistant
Dark blue seedless table grape. Large berries, high yield and full flavor. Resistant to several major diseases and late to bud out in the spring, so less likely to get frosted. Vigorous grower. Fruit is slipskin, meaning it has a thicker skin and most folks squeeze the pulp out and throw the skin. I prefer to eat it all!

(Vitis spp.) -Full Sun– very hardy, some disease resistance
Light pink seedless table grape. Incredibly flavorful and sweet with a wonderful floral quality to its fruit. Hard to leave any for juice or jelly since you ate all of them fresh! Very cold-hardy and resistant to black rot. Vigorous grower, quick to establish.

(passiflora incarnata) -Full Sun to part shade– 2×3″ flavorful seedy fruits, native, invasive vine. Self-fertile
Similar to the well-known tropical passion fruit–a perennial, very ornamental vine with showy, fringed, purple/white flowers all summer long. Bumblebees and hummingbirds love them! 2×3″ oblong fruits turn yellow and often drop when ripe, and each contain a large amount of sweet-tart, apricot-flavored, seedy pulp. Maypop is a native plant, but beware that it is very vigorous and invasive once established. Plant it somewhere you can mow around it to keep it contained, as it will send out long runners underground. A great choice for taking over a fence in the back corner of your yard or covering a hard-to-mow slope. Maypop dies down to the ground in the winter and is late to emerge in the spring, so it is not the best choice for covering shade structures unless you only need late summer and fall shade.

(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.

(Actinidia arguta) -Full Sun to Part shade– Unique heart shaped fruit, requires male for polination, zone 4b-9
3″ pots $4, Quart pots $8, Gallon* pots $16
,
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.

(Actinidia arguta) -Full Sun to Part shade– Very productive, medium fruit size, later ripening than some, requires male for polination, zone 5-9
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.

(Actinidia arguta) -Full Sun to Part shade– early ripening, requires male for polination, zone 5-8

(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.

(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.
