These medium sized red berries can be harvested within the first year. Enjoy fresh, or freeze, bake, dry or preserve them to enjoy their flavour in the winter months. We find these to be sweeter than Nova, but with a milder flavour. Slightly crumbly. Cut canes down in the winter for a large fall crop, or enjoy a more spread out crop starting in June to September. We have found cutting the patch down annually also helps with bore problems.

If you wish to reserve anything before that time or have any questions, please email us: sales@silvercreeknursery.ca. We sell only apples and pears bareroot in the fall, as they are most winter hardy. Everything else (as well as apple and pear) is available in spring.
