Crimson Crisp is a modern apple variety resistant to scab. Its skin features a yellow background overlaid with a rich, dark crimson red hue. True to its name, the flesh is crisp and juicy, with a clean snap that's light rather than dense.
This mid-to-late-season apple, similar to Gala, was developed in France. The fruit is small to medium in size, with a color palette of red to orange-red and a hint of yellow background.
Pixie Crunch apples are charming, snack-sized delights at around 2.5 inches in diameter. Perfect for little hands, they make an ideal treat for kids. These small apples are exceptionally crunchy, sweet, and juicy, offering a burst of flavor.
This heirloom variety was long considered the standard variety for production and high-quality fruit by which fall-bearing varieties were judged. Heritage is a highly popular variety for home gardeners. The fall crop is highly productive and ripens from the end of August through October, depending on your location. The berries have good size, color and flavor. The fruit is good for jam and freezing and is delicious for fresh use, as well.
Thornless blackberries (Rubus ulmifolius) are perennial plants with biennial growth and fruiting habits. Blackberry plants grow in a spreading shrub habit and are classed as either erect or semi-trailing. The tall, woody canes (stems) of thornless blackberry plants produce green foliage and fruit.

Espalier is a style of plant growth where the trees and branches are tied to fencing, which causes them to grow in particular directions. This maximized the sun exposure for the trees, but also acts to keep walkways free for people. Our trees are connected to this fencing and planted in rows.
