Fruit Vines and Strawberries: What’s New?
Vines, especially edible vines, have been designed into gardens for centuries as canopy, food, and privacy, adding contrast and dimension to any landscape setting. This presentation will discuss new and classic varieties, plus how to manage the grapes, hardy kiwis, strawberries, and hops that work well in Maine landscapes. David Handley, berry fruit specialist at Highmoor Farm, will discuss what’s available and appropriate for different applications and review growth habits, flowering times, colors, and what varieties will provide fruit through much of the season.
