Blackcurrant : Ebony

Fruit.

The sweetest ever Blackcurrant! Outstanding dessert variety with a very high level of sweetness - giving a flavour that is as sweet as that of a tasty black cherry! The bushy plants have a slightly open, spreading habit which makes harvesting easy as well as adding to this variety's good mildew resistance.

Blueberry : Earliblue

Blueberry : Earliblue

Fruit.

As the name suggest 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 are supplied in a 1.5 litre pot and will fruit 1 year after planting.

Raspberry : Polka

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.
