New Fruit Trees For 2010
at Bay Laurel Nursery Fruit Trees Online
|

Pears are high in antioxidants and contain more fiber than apples making them an excellent addition to a healthful diet.
|
PEARS, featured on our cover this season, are one of the luscious treats of the fruit world, but they are not just something delicious to eat! Pears are high in antioxidants and contain more fiber than apples, making them an excellent addition to a healthful diet. The long-lived trees are tolerant of heavy soils as well as being beautiful and ornamental with glossy green foliage and abundant white flowers in the spring.
Growing them, however, can be problematic if you are in one of the areas of the country that has fireblight. We are pleased to offer some very nice fireblight resistant varieties that make pear growing much easier in those areas.
Our newest addition, Fan-Cris, is somewhat resistant and is very productive with sweet, creamy fruit. Other fireblight resistant varieties are Blake’s Pride, Fan-Stil, Harrow Delight, Moonglow, Potomac, Seckel, Warren, Hood,Kieffer and Monterrey - the last three of which are low chill.

Asian fruits
More and more, favorite Asian fruits are finding their way into mainstream American cuisine. Ume Shiro-Kaga and Ume Single Pink apricots are used for pickling and for ornamental bloom.
Jujubes (also known as the Chinese date) have become much more widely planted, not just for their delicious fruit, but also because they are very attractive, drought tolerant and cold hardy. Sherwood has very sweet fruit and fewer thorns than other jujube trees, while Sugar Cane has large, extremely sweet fruit.
Asian pears, too, have become very popular in the United States and several varieties are disease resistant such as Chojuro, Kikusui, Shinko, Tsu Li and Ya Li.
Mulberries have an almost blackberry taste and appearance. Our new variety, Pakistan Cooke’s Selection, with three to five inch long fruit and a raspberry-like flavor, joins Pakistan King, White, Black Beauty and Persian Fruiting.
Pomegranates, native to western Asia, have become almost essential due their intense health benefits. Choose varieties with red flesh, such as Angel Red, Desertnyi, Early Wonderful, Granada, Kashmir, Red Silk, Sharp Velvet and Wonderful, for maximum antioxidant content.

Dwarfing Rootstock For Cherries
A very exciting addition to our catalog this season is the new 3CR178 dwarfing rootstock for cherries which results in an unpruned tree height of eight feet! This rootstock is widely adapted to many soil types and is great for containers. If you have not grown cherries before due to lack of space or inappropriate soil, this rootstock makes it possible for cherries to happen! We are stocking Bing and Rainier (which pollinate each other) and Craig’s Crimson and Lapins (both self-fruitful) on 3CR178 this season. While Lapins is low chill at 400 hours, remember that Minnie Royal and Royal Lee(available on Colt) both need only 300-400 chill hours, pollinate each other and make cherries possible in areas that do not get enough cold for the traditional varieties.
Miniature Apricot
Check out the new Pixie-Cot Miniature Apricot, the first to pass the Dave Wilson Nursery flavor test. This is a compact tree with fine quality fruit that ripens around the first of June.
New Figs
Two new figs have also been added to our lineup. Chicago Hardy can take cold to zone 4, die to the ground and still come back and produce fruit. Lattarula also produces fruit on new wood and is one of the most widely planted figs in the Northwest.
Other Additions
Other additions to the catalog this season are the Long Beach peach, an excellent new low chill peach, Blueberry Seedless grape, Jewel blueberry and two new blackberries, Prime-Jim and Natchez Thornless. See the catalog for detailed descriptions of these new items!
