1. BRAZELBERRIES RASPBERRY SHORTCAKE™
The inaugural variety in the BrazelBerries® Collection, Raspberry Shortcake is a thornless dwarf raspberry shrub that reaches 2 to 3 feet and fruits the first season. This compact, mounding, low-maintenance plant requires no staking or trellising, no companion pollinators and very little space, and has sturdy upright canes. It loads up with full-sized, super sweet raspberries and is ideally suited for large patio containers.
2. BRAZELBERRIES® BLUEBERRY GLAZE™
BrazelBerries® Blueberry Glaze™ doesn’t look like any other blueberry variety on the market. With its incredibly glossy dark green leaves and compact growth habit, at first glance, it looks almost boxwood-like and easily can be sheared and used in much the same way — except it bears delicious dark blue fruit. It’s best suited for zones 5-8.
3. BRAZELBERRIES® PINK ICING™
With breathtaking spring and fall foliage, BrazelBerries® Pink Icing™ is sure to standout in any garden. Spring brings a lovely new foliage color that has varying shades of pink mixed with blue and deeper greens. In winter, Pink Icing’s foliage takes on a stunning iridescent turquoise blue foliage hue, which looks striking when planted en masse. Perfect for small spaces on patios or decks, Pink Icing will grow 3 to 4 feet tall with a slightly spreading habit. Enjoy its large, sweet berries during mid-summer. Grow in full sun in zones 5-10.
4. PERPETUA™
Perpetua is a true double-cropping blueberry that sets one crop of fruit in mid-summer and then flowers and fruits a second time to provide ripe fruit in the fall. This landscape beauty is somewhat vase-shaped, growing upright to 4 to 5 feet tall. The leaves are a rich, glossy dark green and curly or twisted in the spring and summer, turning to deep reds and greens in the winter. The new canes are bright yellow and red when dormant, which adds vibrant color to the winter landscape. Perpetua has smallish berries that are mild and sweet. Zones: 4-8.
