| Ochlockonee Blueberry - Vaccinium ashei |
Ochlockonee introduced from the University of Georgia, is the new leading variety for late season Rabbiteye production. We have picked fruit into September at the nursery. Planted with Powderblue for pollination, Ochlockonee has consistent yields of firm, flavorful berries, larger than Powderblue. Field observations indicate Ochlockonee is more resistant to bacterial canker than other Rabbiteyes. It is recommended where a late delicious fresh fruit is desired. Ochlockonee (ok-LAHK-uh-nee),named after the Ochlockonee River in south Georgia,is a late season rabbiteye blueberry that was released in 2002. Plants of Ochlockonee are vigorous and upright. They produce abundant fruiting stems annually with only moderate growth. Ochlockonee is very productive in yield,substantially exceeding Tifblue,a widely grown older standard variety. Berries of Ochlockonee ripen about one week after Tifblue, and are larger in size. Other important fruit characters are color, firmness, and flavor, similar to Tifblue and Powderblue. Plants of Ochlockonee generally flower late enough to escape spring freezes in south and middle Georgia. The estimated chill requirement of the variety is 650 to 700 hours. The variety can be planted alone and fruiting is enhanced with other rabbiteye blueberries for cross pollination such as Powderblue, Tifblue, and Vernon. Leaves have great red fall color. Zone 7 - 10.

| Jeanne Gooseberry - Ribes uva-crispa L |
Jeanne is a late-ripening, dark red, dessert gooseberry with an unknown European pedigree. Observed for 24 years at the USDA National Germplasm Repository, Corvallis, Oregon. Its origin prior to Corvallis is undocumented. Jeanne was named in honor of the late Ms. Cheryl Jeanne Gunning, who worked in the tissue culture laboratory of the NCGR from 1981 to 1985. Jeanne's buds break late and full bloom occurs a week later than most cultivars. About one to two weeks after blooms of Invicta. The fruit ripens from mid to late July, about one week later than the fruit of Invicta, and is ripe for about one week. The fruit ripens to a deep red. The fruit weighed about 5.0 g/berry (7 year average), tended to be smaller than those of Invicta, but large for a red fruit. The yield from Jeanne is higher than from many other gooseberry varieties. The fruit taste is full and sweet. The plant tends to be somewhat spreading, growing to 5' high and 5' wide, and has single, nodal thorns. The leaves and fruits of Jeanne are highly resistant to powdery mildew. The leaves are also highly resistant to white pine blister rust. Damage from aphids or defoliation from sawflies is less severe on Jeanne than in other European gooseberries. Black leaf spot is visible on some leaves in summer, but does not appear to cause plant damage. We recommend this cultivar for home plantings or commercial gooseberry production in the Pacific Northwestern United States and in other temperate climate zones. We expect that this cultivar will be good for organic production because of its pest resistance and very good fruit quality. It could extend the production season of red gooseberries.

| Chandler Everbearing Strawberry - Fragaria annanas sps |
This is the standard cultivar for the U-pick producers because it is well liked by consumers for its good flavor, size and attractive red color. Chandler is cold hardy and does not generally require winter protection (straw or row covers) for most growing areas in zones 7 or 8. However, winter temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit will cause extensive flower and crown injury in this variety. For this reason, row covers are strongly recommended for areas where there is a potential for periods of extreme cold in winter. Chandler has been a dependable producer at the nursery. Chandler has a large spring crop followed by a lesser summer crop. A border of native violets, Johnny jump ups or pansies go well with the bloom of strawberries. Zones 6-8

One-half to one and a quarter pounds of hops are used for a 31-gallon barrel of beer. Hops are long-lived perennials grown like pole beans on 10' tall poles, spaced 4-8' apart. At harvest, the vines are let down, the green hops are picked and dried. Can be grown on a fence or wall. Hops above ground growth dies back in winter. In spring this perennial grows from the ground and quickly establishes itself by late spring. Cascade is a successful and well established aroma hop developed by Oregon State University in 1956 from Fuggle and Serebrianker (a Russian variety). Gives a citrus/grapefruit aroma to a pale ale.Zones 3-8.

| Hardy Chicago Fig - Ficus carica |
|---|
A brown fig, rich and sweet. Good for potted culture, although it is our most dependable outdoor fig. Hardy Chicago ripens its figs from August until fall frost and will have some fruit in July. Has produced as many as 100 pints of figs in one season. Does extremely well in NC and we send this one to enthusiasts up north, because of its early fruiting tendency. Success will vary with every location, so be sure to give it the warmest, most protected place. It's our best fig and came to our attention in the 1970's when cuttings for propagation came from Fred Borne, a North American Fruit Explorer member. Cuttings were supplied to him from a man from Chicago with a "U" shaped house, from a bush he had protected for some years. Without protection the mature bushes top would die back from winter cold, but sprouted from the roots and ripened some figs at the end of the season. Most fig varieties do not share this trait. Usually, a fig's above ground growth must survive the winter in order to fruit the following season. Leaves are the 5-lobed type and the plant has a bush form in the east. Space 8' to 10' circle in Zone 7. Zones 6-8.

| Olympian Fig - Ficus carica |
Olympian fig won the Retailers Choice Award at the 2014 FarWest Show. Olympian is a cold hardy fig and absolutely delicious. This fig produces very sweet fruits with thin purple skin with a red to violet flesh.

Denny worked with Malli Aradhy, a geneticist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Clonal Germplasm Repository to conduct DNA test to find out if it was a known cultivar. It did not match any of the 200+ figs in the repository. It appears Denny has found a unique heirloom variety that produces well in cool & coastal climates.

Dr. Chris Inhulsen, Montezuma, Ga., tested Russian pomegranates and found they survived winters where the popular "Wonderful" variety killed to the ground. The plants were reported to take -6 degrees F once, and at Montezuma, GA., 8 degrees F. Salavatski was his first choice for hardy, dependable, high quality fruit. The fruits as large as the store-bought "Wonderful" variety, and are orange-red in skin and red arils. Like "Wonderful" it is a hard seeded variety. According to Dr. Levin, the originator of the variety, the hard seeded varieties can withstand colder temperatures by a few degrees than the soft seeded varieties. We can thank Dr. Levin for the many pomegranate varieties.He has given us a new fruit for our area that is beautiful and easy to grow. At our nursery in Virginia, Salavatski has fruited yearly without winter damage to the plant. Space 8' to 10' circle. It's best to plant out of the winter winds. More protection and less in the open helps especially with younger plants. Self fertile, Salavatski has ripened in Lancaster, PA(Zone 6) planted on the south side of a home. Zones 7-10.
