Wild birds, unfortunately, enjoy soft fruit as much as we do, but our very flexible anti-bird netting will contour to irregular shapes and can be draped over raspberry canes, fruit trees, vulnerable vegetables and newly-sown lawns. Strong and lightweight, it can be used with our Build-A-Ball system. Four metres wide, we can supply in any continuous length from 2m upwards. Please order in full metres only.
Could this be the healthiest fruit in the world? Aronia certainly ranks very highly, being richer in antioxidants than blueberries and goji berries - both of which we regard as 'superfoods'. Aronia is also believed to be able to prevent heart disease. This native of North America produces white spring flowers followed by lots of little fruits similar to cranberries and, while they are too tart and sharp to eat fresh, they are perfect for making into a sauce which can be added to summer puddings and cheesecakes, juices and smoothies. Aronia is a deciduous, multi-stemmed bush which can grow up tp 10ft (3m). It is very hardy and does best in moist, fertile soils and will easily tolerate heavy clay. Best in full sun or partial shade, it puts on a most attractive autumn foliage display of red and crimson and looks especially good in naturalistic or informal settings.
1 each of Blackberry Black Butte, Tayberry Buckingham and Loganberry LY654.
A British native, closely related to the blueberry. It bears its fruit singly or in pairs rather than in clusters and the flesh is red rather than pale green. The blue/black fruits can be eaten fresh or made into jam, pies or wine. A good choice even for smaller containers.
The world's largest and juiciest blackberry - individual fruits can weigh 10g/1/3oz or more and reach 5cm/2in long. They have a firm texture and rich sweet flavour - perfect for crumbles or bramble jelly. This vigorous variety can produce up to 5kg/11lb of fruit per plant when established.
Bred in the USA, but very well suited to British conditions, the upright, spine-free canes give a great crop of firm, sweet, large, juicy berries from August right through until the first frosts. It makes sumptuous jam or jelly and any surplus fruits can be frozen successfully. So attractive its rather ornamental too.
Loch Ness is the ideal choice for smaller gardens as it grows from short upright canes which need little support - a post is sufficient. Currently the most widely planted variety in the UK because of its high yield of top quality, flavoursome fruit borne on spine-free canes from mid August.
This excellent and reliable blackcurrant tolerates frost and resists mildew to produce a heavy crop of really large, juicy berries with an outstanding flavour. Packed full of goodness, Ben Connan is ready to pick from mid July.
"As good to eat as black cherries, but without the stones" was how our East Anglian growers introduced us to this blackcurrant. Having tasted the very large sweet currants, we have to agree! Ebony is actually 15% sugar - much higher than other blackcurrants. It originates from Eastern Europe, so can deal with harsh winters and hot summers. Be one of the first in the UK to grow this outstanding and very surprising blackcurrant, and see if you agree with our verdict. For added measure, Ebony shows some resistance to mildew.
All season Blueberry Collection.They are easy to grow, manage, harvest and use and will remain productive for many years. Blueberries make great container plants in ericaceous compost - spring flower, summer fruit, autumn leaf colour.

Very early to mature, the berries are usually ready for picking from early July onwards. Can reach 180cm/6ft high, but usually less when container-grown.

Aromatic, bright orange fruits are produced which have an acidic lime-ornage flavour. The calamondin is ideal in a container or tub on the patio and can also be kept indoors as a houseplant. Very fragrant white flowers in spring and summer.
Casseille is a cross between blackcurrant Giant Boskoop and a gooseberry. Why? Because you can cross it but also because it produces a fruit of amazing flavour! The leaf is like a gooseberry while the fruit looks like a blackcurrant grape! Truly a cross! A very sweet flavour, a little like a dessert gooseberry, the fruit can be eaten from the bush. The very fragrant fruits are ideal in fresh fruit salads and summer puddings. The other bonus is that Casseille is a very heavy cropper and can produce several kg of fruit per plant.Well worth a try!
