| Lattarulla Fig |
At our nursery Lattarulla ripens its yellow figs earlier then all others, usually starting in June or July. Because of fluctuating winter weather, these buds can become damaged and not fruit as much as in milder regions such as the Pacific Northwest. The fall crops are inferior fruit because they need pollination like the King fig they resemble. Also called Danny's Delight, this fig has ripened its fruit near Lake Michigan outside. Figs are large, pale green to yellow, sweet and delicious. Fruits are well worth the effort since they are the first to ripen, usually in mid-June at our nursery. Success will vary in zones 6-8. Space @ 10' circles

| Novak Super Dwarf Banana - musa x paradistaca |
|---|
Petite plant grows only 3-4' tall in containers or outside in frost free areas. Can produce very tasty fruit if grown outside in the warm months. Does well indoors or on a patio. The smallest dwarf banana we've seen! Care: good light, water thoroughly but never allow to sit in water. Feed balanced fertilizer that's high in potassium every few months, protect from frost. We fruit our Novak Super Dwarfs in at least 25 gallon containers. This gives the plant plenty of room to produce a bunch of bananas. We let the 1st banana yellow on the plant then cut the stalk with the bananas attached and hang them in a place like a kitchen and pick them as they ripen. I'd like to see more of these beauties planted in office buildings lobbies, malls, Florida rooms, and enclosed pools. zone 9-10

| Kay Grey Grape - Vitus species |
The following description comes from Lon Rombough, a grape enthusiast,author,nurseryman living near Portland, OR. Kay Gray. A white grape bred by Elmer Swenson in Osceola, Wisconsin. Found almost by accident. One year, Mr. Swenson was ill and didn't spray his vineyard. One seedling vine stood out for it's health and freedom from downy mildew. The clusters and berries are many, with a labrusca flavor. Flavor varies with climate, ranging from a rather ordinary labrusca to a pleasant fruity flavor depending on where it is grown. In addition to the good resistance to disease, the vine has withstood -42 degrees F without damage. The vines are vigorous. Vines can be trained to cordons with three bud spurs, or to canes to insure more crop. Liked by organic growers, the clusters are pleasant to eat. Kay Grey is a cross between MN 78 and Golden Muscat.
