Black Satin, Chester, and Triple Crown are all thornless and extremely productive varieties. Also available this season is the White Blackberry which produces large, sweet and juicy white fruits on second year canes. |

| Currants are rich in flavour and full of vitamins. The Black variety produces larger, black fruits with excellent tangy flavour, while the Red and White varieties produce slightly smaller fruits. Use currents to add flair to dinner dishes and desserts. |

Blueberries
When plantingBlueberryplants, it is best to plant two different varieties for better pollination and a bigger harvest. Most soils are alkaline (have a high pH); since Blueberries like acidic conditions, add lots of plain peat moss or sprinkle granular sulphur over the growing area. Like all berries, add a balanced fertilizer at planting time. |
|
- Bluecrop - large, bright blue, sweetfruits.
- Chandler - the largest-sizes berries, some said to reach cherry size!
- Wild Blueberry - the low-growing native variety, producing small sweet berries.
- Duke - large, light blue fruits later to bloom and ripen.
- Northland - medium-sized berries, tasting much like wild blueberries.
- Reka - medium, firm, light blue fruits on vigorous upright plants.
- Patriot - huge berries produced early in high yields.
