A relative of the more well-known cranberry and blueberry, the lingonberry (or cowberry as it is sometimes called) produces jewel-like, tart red fruits that are popular in Scandinavia for use in jams and syrups. While closest to the cranberry in looks, lingonberries are way more productive and reliable with more robust growth that makes them a better option for growing in the UK. Lingonberry 'Miss Cherry' is an attractive, compact variety that is also very productive. With abundant sprays of pink flowers between May and July, it's evergreen too, forming a delightful groundcover plant through the whole year. Robust with good bushy growth, it's a variety that's perfect for containers as well as the fruit garden - just plant them in a sunny or semi shaded place in ericaceous soil and get ready to enjoy the harvest from late July! Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready for immediate planting.

Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready for immediate planting. Top Tips- Plants should be watered with rain water. If you need to use tap water, then use in conjunction with an ericaceous fertilizer which will neutralise any lime present and will replenish nutrients in pot-grown specimens.Care Guide- Although self-fertile and able to produce a good crop on their own, lingonberries will yield much more heavily if planted near another plant.- Plant in well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny, sheltered spot.- If your garden soil has a pH over 5.5, your Lingonberry is best grown in a pot, in ericaceous soil. Keep it well-watered - dont allow the soil to dry out.- Water Lingonberries with rainwater if you can as tap water will gradually raise pH levels.- Feed every month with a liquid fertiliser for ericaceous (lime-hating) plants.- If growing Lingonberries in the garden, add plenty of organic matter such as pine needles or composted conifer clippings. Avoid farmyard manure as it will scorch the roots.- Pruning is rarely needed just take out any damaged, dead, and diseased wood as necessaryPlanting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:May - JulyFruiting Time:July - SeptemberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

If you only have space for one fruit tree, Sweet cherry 'Stella' is the one to grow. 'Stella' Cherry is self-fertile (which means it does not need a second variety of cherry tree to pollinate it) and is a really heavy, reliable cropper because it has good resistance to late frosts. Unlike most other sweet cherry varieties, 'Stella' will thrive in slightly exposed locations but can also be grown in a pot on your patio. The sweetly flavoured, dark-skinned, plump and juicy, aromatic fruits will be ready to pick from mid to late July each year and from the third growing season onwards, you can expect upwards of 5kg (11lb) of cherries per tree, which will save a small fortune compared to paying supermarket prices. Additionally, the beautiful cherry blossom, which appears from early March, will brighten your garden and mark the beginning of spring. Supplied as a bare root tall, grower-quality tree, approx. 1.2-1.4m, grown on a dwarfing 'Colt' rootstock to provide a compact and manageable habit.
Grown for its gorgeous, springtime displays of pink, bowl-shaped blossoms, 'Triloba' here is grown in standard form creating the perfect compact feature tree for any size garden or patio. The double flowered blossom is a picture in early spring, where the blooms smother bare branches before the foliage appears. What's more, the flowers carry a wonderful floral perfume that will fill the air throughout the spring so make sure you plant somewhere where you can fully enjoy the delightful fragrance. Bright green leaves follow the flowers and fruits for wild birds to feast on arrive late in summer. Concluding in a riot of autumnal-bronze foliage in the autumn, the Prunus Triloba will add colour to your garden throughout the whole year. Perfect for pots, the standard form produces a ball of flowers and foliage atop a long clear stem, adding height to displays but is always very easily maintained with a little prune to shape. Totally winter hardy it can be left outside all year round and will flourish again next year. Supplied as a bare root tree, approx. 1.4m tall, in a standard form.
We are still completely blown away by this, when we stumbled across this new concept of fruiting Cherry trees one drizzly winter's day in Northern Holland in 2016. It is revolutionising commercial Cherry cropping. This is simply a completely new way to grow cherries, one which were it not for the persistence of an enthusiastic breeder may never have seen the light of day. It is simply the first bush cherry, as opposed to a tree, so forms a nice neat clump of many fruiting branches right from the base - and as a result does not get too tall, and makes picking really easy - as well as netting from pesky birds. It still has fabulous sweet flavour to rival market leading 'Stella', it yields well, and is 100% self-fertile, and has the iconic spring cherry blossom too - so makes the perfect garden cherry. If pruned hard each summer, it can be kept very compact, and can even produce big crops of fruit. Be one of the first to see what all the excitement is about...

Morello Cherry. 'Morello' Cherry is often referred to as 'The Cooking Cherry' because it is the variety most frequently used for making the delicious fragrant pies and jams we all know and love! The fruits are packed with juice and the skin colour is dark red. It is one of the most reliable croppers of all the sour cherries because it is self-fertile, late flowering and so less susceptible to frost damage, plus it is incredibly disease resistant - a real winner for any garden!

This delightful cherry variety not only tastes sensational, it will look spectacular in your garden, wherever you plant it. Once the gorgeous spring blossom has faded away, 'Bigarreau Napoleon's' very large, slightly elongated fruits ripen to a warm, golden colour, blushed with deep, cherry-red, providing a beautiful contrast with the lush green foliage in mid-summer. When you pick one of these cherries from your own tree and pop it into your mouth, a rich sweetness will explode from the creamy flesh - simply tantalising for the tastebuds! The flavour is sweet but not as sugary as dark sweet cherries such as 'Stella'. They taste so divine that you will want to pick the whole lot and eat them straight away - so it is a good job it is such a heavy cropper! Growing your own cherries at home is not only deeply rewarding, it will also save you an absolute fortune compared with supermarket prices. And, of course they taste so much better!
