FRUIT TREES
Apple, Cortland - this tree is a semi-dwarf that will grow to 12-15' in height. Cortlands bloom mid-season and ripen late-season, with bright red, medium-sized apples bred from MacIntosh. The fruit is all purpose and slightly tart.
Apple, MacIntosh - also semi-dwarf, MacIntosh trees will grow to 12-15'. This self-fertile variety does not require a pollinator, although it will do better with another tree of similar bloom time in close proximity. This mid-season bloomer will bear mottled red and green fruit with thin and tender skin. The fruit is good for fresh eating or cooking.
Apple, Red Delicious - another semi-dwarf with a mature height of 12-15', the Red Delicious tree blooms and ripens mid-season. A vigorous grower, it is resistant to fireblight and cedar rust. The fruit is juicy with sweet flesh.

BUSHES & VINES
Blueberry, Brunswick Lowbush - growing 8-12' tall and 2-3' wide, this vigorous selection produces an abundance of pea-sized, dark blue berries in mid-summer. Brunswick is great for mass plantings and reclamations of rough, sandy soils. It also puts on a nice fall show with scarlet-tinged burgundy foliage and colored branches.
Blueberry, Bluejay Highbush - at 5-7' tall and wide, this manageable bush is robust and rounded, easy-to-grow and tolerant of poor soil and partial shade. It yields an impressive crop of deep blue, sizable berries in August and its deep green foliage puts on a purplish-red fall show. The fruit is a magnet for wildlife and the foliage provides outstanding cover for small animals.

Grape, Concord - vigorous and fruitful, this old, dependable variety still packs a punch with a multitude of medium to large clusters of big, sweet grapes. The fruit is perfect for fresh eating or for jellies and preserves.
Grape, Reliance - a superb red seedless selection, Reliance features a mid-season crop of sweet flavored, medium to large clusters of fruit. It is vigorous and relatively disease resistant.
