Use them in containers for attractive statements and to keep your edibles close at hand. Use them for privacy. Use them to get more production per square foot to feed you, your family, and your friends. Have a look at our dwarf edible shrubs and trees and think about how you can use them in your garden. They are all in stock now so come down and get some this weekend! Enjoy!

Columnar Apples These amazing columnar apples will grow to 8 feet tall but only ever reach 1-2 feet wide. They are perfect for containers and small spaces. You can also use them for privacy. They come in two cultivars: 'Golden Sentinel' and 'Scarlet Sentinel'. Remember that you must have two different apples to pollinate each other. These two cultivars, planted together, will do the trick!

Mini Dwarf Apples Our Dwarf and Mini Dwarf apples are grafted onto rootstock that will keep them at about 6 feet high. We have popular varieties including 'Gravenstein', 'Fuji', 'Honeycrisp', and 'Gala'. Grow them in a pot or in the ground.

Bushel and Berry Blueberries The Bushel and Berry collection (formerly BrazelBerries) are dwarf blueberry plants growing from 1.5 to 4 feet tall, depending on the cultivar. Each produces good crops in pots or in the ground and also has very attractive foliage, especially 'Pink Icing' and 'Peach Sorbet' with new pink leaves turning to blue-green. The other cultivars are 'Jelly Bean', 'Perpetua' and 'Blueberry Glaze'.

Bushel and Berry Blackberry 'Baby Cakes' from the Bushel and Berry Collection (formerly BrazelBerries) is a dwarf, thornless blackberry producing large, delicious berries in midsummer and, in cool summer regions like the west coast, again in fall. Plants have a rounded growth habit reaching 3-4 feet tall and wide. They will grow perfectly in a large container or are the right scale for planting in small space gardens. Plants ripen fruit gradually over a long period with both ripe black and unripe red fruits on the plant at the same time creating an ornamental display. Pure white flowers are borne in spring.

Bushel and Berry Raspberry One of the hottest edible plants, Bushel and Berry (formerly BrazelBerries) are dwarf fruit bushes that can be grown in containers or in the garden. Rubus 'Raspberry Shortcake' is a compact, dwarf, thornless raspberry with beautiful foliage and great tasting fruit. Plant it in containers on your patio or balcony, in your garden or make a hedge of it. Grows to 2-3 feet high.

Dwarf Mulberry Morus 'Dwarf Everbearing' is a medium sized black mulberry with a sweet tasty flavour. In pot culture it can be maintained as a dwarf with minor pruning and will produce continuously in warm and bright conditions. In the ground it also stays smaller and more manageable than other species and cultivars and will give good continual production.

Super Dwarf Figs 'Petite Nigra' and 'Little Ruby' are super dwarf fig trees that happily produce in small containers and grow as a shrub to just 2-4 feet tall. The purple fruits appears early on young plants. These are the perfect figs to grow outdoors in warmer zones or to use as a winter houseplant and summer outdoor patio plant in colder zones. Let's grow figs right across Canada!

Dwarf Fig Ficus carica 'Little Miss Figgy' has to have THE best cultivar name in edibles: "Kermie! Where are my figs?" This dwarf cultivar tops off at just 4-6 feet tall by 3-4 feet wide making it perfect for container growing or small spaces. This size also makes it easy to take in and protect in cold winter climates! It has attractive blue-green leaves and great crops of sweet, dark purple fruits. Delicious.
