Br = Bare Root Plant
VAT is not chargeable on these plants.
Large, bright, deep red, good flavoured, firm berries are borne in large easily picked strigs that ripen in mid-summer. Reliable cropper with moderately vigorous growth but a compact bush. Excellent for eating fresh or for jelly making.
They prefer cool, well-mulched soil and will tolerate partial shade, but berries will be sweeter if ripened in the sun. They will need protection from birds. Self-fertile. 2 year bushes. Plant 1.8m (6ft) apart.

Br = Bare Root Plant
Bare-Root Plants
Bare-root plants are sold without a pot/soil around the roots. This is a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of growing plants. To ensure the best plant health we do not store our plants in cold storage, but they are left in our field or plant beds until they are ready for packing or collection.
Items marked Br are bare rooted plants grown from cuttings and are typically 1-2 years old.
Availability
Bare rooted plants are only available when the plants are dormant (typically from late November to March).
If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.
