Rubus idaeus 'Polka'

This excellent new autumn fruiting primocane raspberry was selected as the leading raspberry variety at the prestigious National Fruit Show in Kent for four consecutive years. The fruits are exceptionally large and have a superb aromatic flavour. Very heavy cropping, producing up to double the yield of Autumn Bliss (one of its parents). The canes may not require supporting in sheltered gardens. Polka will commence cropping at least two weeks earlier than Autumn Bliss.

(image for) Cordon Apple 'Granny Smith'
£37.95Cordon Apple 'Granny Smith'This well know variety was discovered in Australia in the 1860s and is grown in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and parts of North America and Europe. In many countries it is regarded as a dual-purpose variety but it requires a long hot summer for the sugars and flavour to develop and is therefore normally only suitable as a cooker when grown in the UK. It produces heavy crops of bright green apples with lighter flecking. The greenish-white flesh is coarse textured and juicy and has a sharp flavour that sweetens in storage. The fruits are perfect for pies and tarts as they retain their shape when cooked. They are also good added to salads as they are less likely to brown than other varieties. The tree is easy to grow and heavy cropping.Buy Now
