Fruit & Berry Seeds

Fruit and berry seeds are the slowest reward in the Shido catalog and the longest-lasting one — most of the varieties here are perennial canes, brambles, and bushes that spend their first season or two building roots, then fruit every year after without replanting. Blackberry, boysenberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, and tummelberry cover the bramble patch; the Siberian Crabapple grows into a tree; the watermelon is the one summer annual in the group.

Every packet is vacuum-sealed and non-GMO, germination-tested at independent labs before packaging, and printed with a state-mandated three-year viability date and its variety's pollination requirement. Blueberries fruit more reliably with a second variety nearby; the rest are self-pollinating. Plant once, prune when asked, and the patch does the returning.
