Malus domestica 'Tydeman's Early Worcester'
NEW! Raised in Kent in 1929, this is one of the tastiest early apples producing heavy crops of bright crimson fruits. Crisp and very juicy with a sweet, aromatic flavour that is reminiscent of strawberries. Easy to grow.
Pollination: Partially self-fertile. Group B.
Season: late Aug - Sept.
Rubus phoenicolasius
NEW! Use this plant to bring some winter cheer to the garden! Originating from Eastern Asia, the Japanese Wineberry is grown as much for its ornamental value as it is for its edible fruits. The plant is very decorative - it has dark red stems that are covered in soft red bristles. The calyx (which surrounds the flowers) are also covered in fine red bristles and contrast beautifully against the lime-green foliage which turns almost yellow-white at the time of fruiting. The dark red canes really stand out in the winter and look particularly attractive on a frosty morning. The berries are dark red when fully ripe, juicy and sweet and have a strong raspberry flavour. They are delicious picked straight from the bush but can also be cooked and used to make jam. Plant 1.8m (6ft) apart.
Season: late July - late Aug.
Plant size: 2 litre pot.
Rheum hybridum 'Fulton's Strawberry Surprise'
This outstanding new variety was voted the ‘best flavoured rhubarb’ in RHS Wisley Trials. The plants are strong growing, producing eye-catching vivid red stems.
Sorbus pseudohupehensis 'Pink Pagoda'
Originating from Canada, this outstanding variety is a close relative of our British native rowan. It produces large open bunches of beautiful vivid pink berries in the autumn that slowly turn pale pink and last well in to winter. The berries not only look lovely, they provide winter food for hungry birds. Clusters of creamy white flowers adorn the branches in the spring and are popular with bees. The large blue-green pinnate leaves are very attractive and turn to shades of red and orange in the autumn. Suitable for most soil types, but prefers a moist, free draining site.
Height x spread in 10 years: up to 6m (20ft) x 3m (10ft).
