Canada red rhubarb.

(May be too hot here in Kansas, at least in the summertime!)

Yeah - I thought about the Sea Berry after I posted it. I was trying to remember what the ‘Russian Mail Order Brides’ used to buy from me when I was at Jung’s. They were all so excited to see some of their ‘native’ fruits could be grown here in Wisconsin. Such GORGEOUS gals - you wouldn’t believe how pretty - my Stock Boys were all tripping over themselves to help them load up their cars, LOL! Someone got their money’s worth with those babes! ;)

Though, based upon that ‘Hot to Crazy Matrix,’ maybe not, LOL!

Anyhow - maybe Rhubarb in a shady spot? It can tolerate some shade. I couldn’t live without it - LOVE Rhubarb!

Beau has been trying, IN VAIN, to grow the Honey Berry for the past 10 years - trying to convince him to give it up and plant the Nanking Bush Cherries or we should just go all-in on Blueberries. At least we’d get SOMETHING for our efforts!
