New Brunswick Native River Grape (Vitis riparia) Hardy to Zone 2b collected and propogated by Bob Osborn at Cornhill Nursery

I had this grape for many years growing on an arbour over my front door but eventually it winter killed one year. About 3 or 4 years ago I found it growing up a large pine tree on my property , the birds must have spread the seed. I've been watching it ever since and this is the first year it has had fruit and it is loaded.

Chick Flick



A little video of my chicken flock taken during our daily "Quality Time". I sit on a stool in the yard and they graze on greens and visit with me. Several of them have started jumping up in my lap for brief visits and they all take turns at pecking my fingers or pulling on my shoelaces
