One of the most unique flavoured apples in the world, with its golden apricot yellow skin and fabulous aromatic aniseed flavour, biting into Apple Tentation is a real taste sensation – like eating a sugar cube but better for you. Delicious raw or cooked in a tasty open tart. Propagated onto ‘P9’ rootstock. Apple Tentation is an attractive and easy tree to grow.
Plum : Victoria 1 feathered maiden was £19.99 now £11.99
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..
Cobnut Kentish Cobs 1 tree was £19.99 now £11.99
If you are lucky enough to have a large garden and you are looking for a large attractive tree, look no further than a nut tree. They are easy to grow, will quickly establish and you will soon be harvesting your own delicious nuts. Cobnut Kentish Cobs is probably the best-known UK variety and easiest to grow in the garden. This self fertile tree produces a mass of yellow/green catkins in the early spring hopefully followed by windy days to aid pollination resulting in a heavy crop of cobnuts in autumn.
Apple : Pinova 1 tree was £19.99 now £11.99
Pinova is ‘The Wonder Apple’ as it has a lovely flavour which is not surprising when it has both Golden Delicious and Cox as part of its breeding. The delicious smooth skinned fruits are ready to eat in September, but will hang on the tree until December. Plus it has scab and partial mildew resistance, and stores exceptionally well. A trouble free apple for the home gardener, which can even be grown on the patio. Apple Pinova 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.
Aronia Berry : Viking 1 plant in a 3 litre pot was £19.99 now £11.99
The aronia really is a ‘superberry’! The aronia berry, similar in appearance to a cranberry, is said to help ward off heart disease as well as providing many disease-fighting antioxidants. The plants need damp, mild conditions in which to grow, which make them an ideal crop for many parts of Great Britain. The berries, which also contain high levels of vitamin C, are too tart and sharp to be eaten raw, but are ideal for sauces, summer puddings, as a topping on cheesecakes, or blended into smoothies, or simply juiced to make a truly-health giving drink!
Plum : Seneca 1 feathered maiden was £19.99 now £11.99
The largest plum we have ever seen! 3 fruits are capable of filling your hand. The large red skinned fruits have a delicious bright yellow/orange flesh and a freestone. Planted with Opal and Victoria they will give you a full seasons harvest and will aid pollination and increase yields between each other. Opal is partially self-fertile, making the perfect planting partner for Victoria to aid pollination. 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. Perfect for extending the season as the fruits ripen in mid September. 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..
