Zumi Crabapple

The Zumi Crabapple Tree, `Malux x Zumi Calocarpa,' is a semi-dwarf crabapple that may be used as a street tree. It is most valued for its profuse, spring flowering of fragrant, white blooms and its small, glossy, bright red fruit. The crabapples will mature in the autumn, and likely persist into December. It is very effective when planted as a background for other early flowering plants. It is also commonly grown near fences, in groups as a screen or as a specimen planting in a lawn or patio.

Royal Fern

The Royal Fern, `Osmunda regalis,' is a tall, deciduous fern that grows naturally on moist bluffs and ledges along streams, and is sometimes found growing in the water. The broad fronds feature large, separated leaflets that give this fern an almost pea-family appearance. Its spores are located in brown, tassel-like, fertile clusters on the tips of the fronds. This gives the plant the additional common name of flowering fern. This plant will also grow nicely in shaded borders, woodland gardens and native or wild plant gardens.

Mars Grape

The Mars Grape (Blue-Purple), `Vitas labrusca Mars,' produces seedless, medium sized grapes that are perfect to serve fresh on the table, as well as in making jams and jellies. It is very similar in character to the Concord grape. This is the most disease resistant variety of grape that we carry, and the fruits will ripen in mid to late August. Grape vines can also be grown as ornamentals or screens in the landscape.
