Sea buckthorn “Eva” (female)
Zone 3 self-sterile (dioecious): Sea buckthorn is a cold-hardy, thorny shrub that produces elongated orange berries possessing a multitude of health benefits. The berries are extremely rich in vitamins (especially C and E), proteins, and antioxidants. The flavour is quite acidic and recalls elements of citrus and passion fruit. The fruit is very versatile and can be consumed fresh or used in juice, jams, candies, ice cream. The leaves can be used to make herbal teas.
Sea buckthorn plants require plenty of sunlight and are quite drought tolerant. Their root systems are extensive, making them an interesting option for combatting soil erosion. They have a strong tendency towards suckering.
This cultivar “Eva” is known for having the highest concentration of polyphenols in its berries, and for being less thorny than most varieties. Its fruits reach maturity in September-October. The shrub grows up to 1.5 m (3ft) tall.
It is a female cultivar and needs a male cultivar like “Lord” for pollination. Flowers are wind pollinated.

Pear tree - Bishop
A pear discovered by Peter Bishop Jr. in Nova Scotia in 1786! Older than the country of Canada by more 81 years, the original tree no longer gives fruit but thanks to the wonder of grafting we can continue to propagate this impressively resilient variety.
Its original hardiness zone is zone 6 and we have not yet tested it in a colder zone. More information on the history of this pear tree can be found on this blog.

Impressive-quality hazelnut for zone 5
Zone 5 self-sterile: A productive hazelnut shrub that gives high-quality nuts. The hazelnuts are similar in size and taste to those we find at the grocery. We discovered these shrubs growing on the land of a friend, in zone 5. Our main aim is to use them to make crosses with our zone 3 hazelberts, in an attempt to create new varieties that would have the cold-resistance of the hazelberts, paired with the larger size of these zone 5 hazelnuts! However we also have some extras which we make available here for those in zone 5 or warmer.
The shrubs may survive in zone 4, with occasional damage in colder winters. However their catkins generally freeze during the winter, so they are rarely able to produce nuts in zone 4. Their optimal growing conditions are otherwise similar to those of the hazelbert: they mainly need well-drained soil, and a lot of sun.
Note that these are self-sterile, you must have two for pollination
