We’ll let your fellow gardeners share with you exactly why they love these unique fruits:
Anne Yellow Raspberry - It’s the color that makes the Anne Raspberry a standout but its hardiness and productive nature will make it your favorite raspberry.
“I prefer their flavor over all of my traditional red raspberries. They are also pretty hardy and easy to grow.” - Kathleen D.
“I got three plants and had cascades of big golden berries all summer and well into the fall. They taste like a cross between an apricot and a raspberry. I had lots for eating and for baking.” Laura P.
Pink Lemonade Blueberry – They taste as good as they sound, and the pink flowers in the spring are exceptionally pretty compared to other blueberry varieties.
“I started out with 2 plants and after tasting the 1st crop of berries, I am hooked on the pinks! I find them more flavorful than the blues and they are very sweet. I ordered 8 more plants.” Mariette C.
“Out of the 10+ varieties of blueberries I grow, Pink Lemonade blueberries have the best flavor.” - Andie B.
White Pineberry – This white strawberry-like fruit with red seeds has a completely unique burst of flavor. Bonus points, critters are looking for colorful fruit and may bypass them!
“I can't believe how many berries we got in the second season of planting it. Grows real fast. My kids absolutely love them.” Roger B.

Emperor Francis Sweet Cherries - Yellow cherries with a rosy blush. Homemade maraschino cherries, anyone?

“We planted this tree last spring. We got half a dozen cherries off it this year. I am pleasantly surprised as I didn't expect to get fruit so soon. I expect it will do better each year.” - Jennifer D.
LSU Gold Fig - In addition to the unique fig color, it’s fast-growing and a heavy producer that is well suited to containers.

“This tree took right away after I planted it in a container. It made one or two figs its very first Summer.” - Margaret P.
