Melon 'Outdoor Wonder' F1 HybridCucumis melo Customer Rating
True to its name, Melon ‘Outdoor Wonder’ is ideal for growing outdoors through black plastic or under cloches. This Galia type reliably produces pale green fleshed melons even in less than perfect British summers, and has good mildew resistance too. The tennis ball sized fruits are the perfect size for a one person serving! Height and spread: 2m (6’, 6"). Melons require high temperatures and humidity. In all but the very warmest areas cultivation is most successful in a greenhouse, or under cover of a cold frame or cloche when growing melons in the UK. More info |
Kiwi (Hardy)Actinida arguta, Tara Vine Customer RatingGrape-sized, yellow-green fruits with very thin 'fuzzless' skins are produced in ‘September’ and ‘October’ on vigorous twining stems. With a flavour that is generally sweeter than regular varieties, these unusual fruits are delicious eaten whole and don’t even need to be peeled! This hardy Tara vine is self fertile, so you can grow it alone, without the need for a male pollinating plant. Height: 7m (22’). Spread: 5m (16’). Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years. |
Kiwi 'Hayward' and 'Tomuri'Actinidia deliciosa, Chinese Gooseberry One of the best traditional varieties to grow in the UK! Kiwi ‘Hayward’ flowers later in the season and produces a heavy crop of large fruits with a superb flavour. Kiwi ‘Hayward’ is a self sterile female plant so it must be planted next to a male plant to provide pollen and produce fruit. We recommend planting Kiwi ‘Tomuri’ as a male plant. This vigorous male will not produce fruit but makes an attractive feature with its heart shaped leaves and large creamy white flowers which will aid pollination of ‘Hayward’. Height: 9m (29’). Spread: 5m (16’). Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years. |
