NEW for 2026:
Violette de Bordeaux Dwarf Fig Tree:
The Violette de Bordeaux fig is a historic French heirloom, known since the 1600s in France potentially originating in Spain.
This naturally dwarf tree produces 2 crops per year and is adaptable to various climates. It’s small size (reaching only 6-10 feet) makes it perfect for growing in small areas or containers.
It produces small to medium purple-black fruit with the sweetest taste and richest flavor. The figs have a very deep red strawberry pulp.
The Violette de Bordeaux is excellent for fresh eating, drying and preserves. Considered by many the finest tasting fig. Good for home planting as tree is dwarf.
Thomcord Black Seedless Bunch Grape:
The Thomcord Grape is a seedless variety created from a cross between Thompson Seedless and Concord grapes. This bluish black fruit is mild, sweet and very flavorful. Thomcord produces grapes that are plump, juicy and more flavorful than Concord. Tolerates heat and humidity better than most. Disease resistant and very productive. Ripening in July, the Thomcord grape is good for fresh eating, jams, jellies, and baking.
