P-4000
Akebia quinata
Five Leaf Akebia
30'
2.5" rootball
$6.00
Likes full sun - part shade and well drained soil. Takes several years to fruit and conditions must be just right. The fruit is edible. You may eat the seeds, but DO NOT chew the seeds. The broken seeds can cause an upset stomach. It is evergreen in zone 7.
USDA zones 5-10
NOTE: Pictured are early spring season without blossoms, mid-late spring with blossoms, and the fall (Sept. 19, '03) fruit which is sweet in flavor.
The pulp, which resembles a caterpillar, is revealed upon becoming ripe and the pod splitting. The insides are edible and you can eat the seeds so long as you DO NOT CHEW them!

P-400P-T
Paeonia suffruticosa
Tree Peony
H up to 5' - x W up to 5'
2 gal. pot
$35.00
Unlike their cousins, the herbaceous peonies, tree peonies develop woody branches and become multi-stemmed shrubs.
Do not mow them off in the fall as with herbaceous peonies. Only remove any dead branches that do not bud out in the spring.
Requires part shade and well drained soil, evenly moist soil.
We only ship these in very early spring before new growth starts. As with any peony, the new growth is brittle and may be damaged in shipment. They can be picked up any time through the season at the nursery.
Colors available:
'Hoki' (bright scarlet)
'Kinshi' (golden yellow)
'Shima-Nishiki' (rare two-tone red/white, pictured at left)
'Yagumo' (purplish-red, pictured at left)
Please specify color.
USDA zones 4 - 8

P-4004
Rubus sp.
Chinese Raspberry
Canes can reach 8'
2.5" rootball
$5.00
We love its small white flowers. It likes full sun - part shade and well drained soil. Once established it produces red berries in mid-summer. It doesn't have as large of thorns as some species and they are softer too!
USDA zones 5 - 8
Note: We have been without success in finding the entire botanical name.
