FRUIT

Blueberry ‘Gold Traube’
This is a delicious, juicy, heavy-cropping variety with a vigorous, upright habit and fresh, light green, serrated leaves that take on striking shades of red, orange and golden-yellow in the autumn. It produces an abundance of large, firm, fine-flavoured aromatic fruits which ripen from July to August and are extremely nutritious, offering high vitamin contents. These are ideal for deep freezing as they retain their flavoursome taste exceptionally well and don’t turn your lips blue. Delicate clusters of stunning, pinkish-white, bell-shaped flowers are also borne from April to May and help to add colour and interest to the garden when the plant is not fruiting. It is an extremely robust and reliable variety which forms a strong, multi-branched framework and is suitable for container growing
Blueberry ‘Blue Crop’
A mid-season variety which produces a heavy crop of light blue berries that are full of flavour. It is a vigorous shrub with an upright habit and has good drought resistance. Like all blueberries, it must have moist, acidic soil to flourish. Even without the added bonus of delicious berries, it does make an attractivedeciduous shrub with white flowers in spring and striking autumn colours.
Blackberry ‘Waldo’
Spine free. High yield of large fruits. Harvest: July – August.
