Ipomoea indica 'Blue Dawn Flower' - Beautiful perennial
Morning Glory growing to 20' or more. Easily grown vine that
avoids the big problem of most Morning Glories, which is their
habit of reseeding and being a pest - this vine makes no
seed. It should be pointed out though that Blue Dawn is an
aggressive grower, which can be an advantage in many
situations, but it should not be located where it's aggressive
growth might be difficult to manage. Best in full sun, but will
tolerate light shade. Zone 9-10

Figs
Call or email us to be sure what you are looking for is
available.
Figs do best in full sun and will not fruit well in shade. In
sandy soils, we have found that adding generous amounts of
organic material at planting, and keeping the root zone well
mulched, greatly increases the chance of success. Of
course the tree must receive adequate moisture, especially
the first year or two. Your local extension agent can provide
additional recommendations.
Fig - Celeste (aka as the Sugar Fig) - Small to medium fig
with light brown to violet skin and strawberry pulp. Very cold
hardy. One of the finest Southern figs. Zone 8-10
Fig - Scott’s Black. Large black fruit with a bright red pulp.
Ripens late in the season. Zones 8-10.
Fig - Hardy Chicago - Small to medium fruit with light brown to
violet skin and strawberry pink pulp. Pyriform with long
slender neck. Excellent flavor and very hardy. Ours is grown
from cuttings of an old tree in Winston Salem, NC.
Fig, Kadota - Greenish-white, medium sized fruit. Vigorous.
Delicious fresh or dried. Kadota is a rich, sweet, all purpose
fig well suited for the Southeastern climate. Grow in full sun.
LSU Purple - A small to medium purple fig introduced by

South.

Bananas
We offer three banana varieties that have been chosen for
their ornamental value, relative cold hardiness, and edibility.
These varieties come through most winters along the coastal
South, with the above-ground stem (pseudo stem) intact,
which is necessary if fruit is to be produced.
Ice Cream (Blue Java) - Cold tolerant banana plant
reaching 15 feet. Leaves are a silver-green, and the fruit is
blue-green before ripening. Fruit is medium sized with white
flesh; many rate this as the best tasting banana around.
Hardy to USDA Zone 8b.
Kandarian - Very large, edible banana growing to 20’ or
more. Kandarian has survived brief dips in temperture of 20
degrees F. Zone 8b-9.
Dwarf Namwah - Smaller in size, this banana has non-the-
less produced large sized bunches of sweet fruit in Coastal
GA. 8’-10’ tall. USDA Zones 8b-10. (Picture courtesy Richard
H. Wallace , Ph. D., Richmond Hill, GA) (OUT)
