Apple : Bramley's Seedling

The most famous of all and best ever cooking apple.

Pick from October when mature for immediate use or lay fruits in a cool dry place for winter storage.

All Bramleys are 'triploids' and will set a partial crop by themselves. However pollination will be improved by having another apple tree near by, this can be in yours or a neighbours garden because the bees will happily travel a short distance to do the work.

Apple Bramley's Seedling is grafted onto an M9 rootstock which produces a dwarf tree of excellent vigour in all soils - making it ideal for the garden, as you can easily reach to prune, spray and pick your delicious fruit.

Bred in Great Britain.

Apple : Cox's Orange Pippin

Often considered the finest tasting dessert apple. Medium sized rosy apples have thin skins and a crisp texture followed by sweet and juicy flesh.

A bumper crop will be ready to harvest in the autumn.

Apples store well and are at their best for eating from November-January.

Apricot : Flavourcot®

Specially bred for the cooler UK climate, to produce huge crops of large egg sized orange/red delicious fruits with improved colour, texture and flavour. Being late flowering it is also frost resistant so you always get a crop.

Excellent used for cooking as well as sweet and juicy when eaten fresh from the tree, just like a peach, in August.

Grafted onto a specialist apricot rootstock called 'Mont Clare' which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8ft), manageable tree for the small garden and is proven to give a bigger crop of apricots. Due to modern breeding techniques and yield improvements it is now easy for the home gardener to grow and enjoy these exotic fruits.

Blackberry : Loch Ness

The perfect variety for the smaller garden, as it grows on short upright thornless canes. A heavy cropper capable of producing up to 3.6kg (8lb) of fruit per bush of excellent flavour, firm glossy black conical berries.

Ready to harvest from mid-August until the first frosts.

Our 1 year old plants are container grown rather than field grown to provide you with stronger, superior quality plants. These berries are easy to grow and will quickly establish and reward you with some flavoursome fruits to add to desserts or make your own jams.

Blueberry : Earliblue

As the name suggests, Blueberry : Earliblue is a very early maturing variety, producing large, light blue, sweetly flavoured berries, that hang in medium sized clusters from the beginning of July.

A stout bush that will grow up to 180cm (6 feet) high.

Blueberries are ideal for growing on the patio in a large container filled with ericaceous compost. You won't get a much healthier food than blueberries, as they are packed with health boosting compounds making them a very popular choice with many dieticians.

In the spring the bushes are covered in masses of sweetly scented creamy white flowers, which soon develop into green fruits before maturing into juicy blueberries. Then in the autumn their leaves change to an delightful crimson colour, making an attractive feature plant on the patio.

Plants supplied in 1.5 litre pots will fruit 1 year after planting.

Cherry : Sunburst

High quality, dark red almost black large dessert cherries of the sweetest flavour which will store well for a short period after picking. Cherry Sunburst has 'Gisella 7' rootstock which produces good fruit size, but with compact growth so that it can be grown in a small space. Being self fertile it is ideal for small gardens planted in a warm sunny spot in a large container on the patio.

Ready to harvest slightly earlier than Stella from mid July.

Fig : Brown Turkey

Specially selected for the UK climate as Brown Turkey is fully hardy and can be grown very successfully outdoors, producing large crops of sweet and juicy figs with a deep red flesh under their brown skins.

Makes a dramatic feature plant fan trained against a wall or in a container on the patio.

Fruits ripen August to September.

The perfect fruit to grow in containers on your patio, and will consistently produce large volumes of tasty fruit.

Plum : Victoria

Britain's best known plum and the most reliable garden variety for both culinary and dessert usage. Being self-fertile it is capable of producing a heavy crop of egg shaped, medium sized fruits.

Makes delicious pies and jams, but we always think they are best eaten straight from the tree in late August.

Plum Victoria is one of the UK's favourite fruit trees, easy to grow and delicious to eat.

Grafted on a 'St Julian' rootstock which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2 to 2.5m (7 to 8 foot) tree.

Bred in Great Britain.

Note: The main cause of maggot damage in plums is the caterpillar of the Plum Fruit Moth. To help control this troublesome pest see Fruit Moth Traps..

Raspberry : Polka

One of the best raspberry introductions in recent years! This superb primocane variety from the latest Polish breeding will produce up to double the yield of Autumn Bliss (one of its parents). Once established, each plant can produce up to 2.5kg of large, deep-red berries with an exceptionally sweet taste which has meant Polka has been the winner of the autumn Kent Fruit Show for its flavour and fruit quality for the past three years.

As well as beating Autumn Bliss on flavour, Polka will crop at least 2 weeks earlier and will be ready to harvest from late July through to October.

These vigorous, virtually spine-free plants show good disease resistance and will even produce a good crop in gardens with less desirable soils, all of which combine to make Polka one of the best raspberry introductions in recent years.

Tayberry : Buckingham

An easy to harvest spineless form of Tayberry discovered by an amateur gardener in Buckingham. Produces delicious 5cm (2 inch) long berries, ideal eaten as a dessert with a touch of cream.

For the best flavour pick the fruits when they have changed from red to deep purple.

Our 1 year old plants are container grown rather than field grown to provide you with stronger, superior quality plants. These berries are easy to grow and will quickly establish and reward you with some flavoursome fruits to add to desserts or make your own jams.
