Rhubarb Timperley Early

Delivered as a crown the upper part of the roots of a perennial Rhubarb Timperley Early is easy to grow while the huge leaves and bright red leaf stalks make this a spectacular addition to the herbaceous border or even large containers on the patio. It is one of the best cultivars for early outdoors cropping with thick tasty stems and good flavour.Planting in Autumn or Spring this Rhubarb likes a rich soil which includes plenty of compost or manure if it is available.When planting plant so that the crown is just level with the surface of the soil. Plant firmly about 90cm apart treading the soil around the roots. Water in freely if the soil is dry and continue to do so until growth starts.It is advisable not to take stems the first growing season to allow the plant to become established. When harvesting twist stems away from the crown as they attain sufficient size but never take too many from one plant as this will weaken it. To maintain a healthy plant cease harvesting at the end of July. 1 Crown.

white fig
white fig was £12.99 now £9.99
Position: full sunSoil: will tolerate most soils, except very badly drainedRate of growth: averageOther features: medium-large, light-coloured fruit (August to September)Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline)A superb, deciduous, spreading shrub with decorative, 3- or 5- lobed, mid-green leaves. It is best grown against a south or south-west facing wall and in long hot summers masses of lighter-skinned, pear-shaped figs are produced. This fig is native to Tuscany where it’s used in a variety of dishes. The fruit is rich and sweet and ready to pick from August to September.Garden care: Plant in a 40cm (15in) pot in the ground or in lined pit to restrict root growth – unrestricted root growth leads to poor fruiting. Prune in summer, trimming all shoots back to about 5 leaves from the main stem. Remove any frost damaged or weak branches in springFigs are capable of producing three crops of fruit every year, but in our climate it is the tiny little ones that you find tucked into the leaf axils in autumn, that if protected from frosts, will go on to ripen in their second summer. Therefore if you are growing the fig for its fruit rather than its foliage, you should remove any developing fruits that are larger than a pea in autumn, and either cover the crown of the tree with a blanket of frost fleece or try to gently pack it with straw. This will keep them snug and warm throughout winter and push the plants energy into the development of the young fruits, which should grow into fully ripened figs next year.
