This compact Nectarine tree will deliver years of pleasure in your garden with both pretty, fragrant flowers in Spring followed by yellow flesh fruits in Summer. Bred by Zaiger in the USA, the World's leading Patio fruit breeder, it is genetically dwarf, and self-branching, so even over many years will not exceed 3ft. Nectarine 'Garden Beauty' is ideal for grown in a large pot in a sunny, sheltered position. In early spring your tree will be smothered in deep pink, semi double fragrant flowers, which should be protected from frosts by covering with fleece cover. This variety is self-fertile so does not require another plant for pollination. You will then be rewarded with fruit late Summer when you are able to pick sweet juicy, full flavoured nectarines straight off the tree - not as karge as those in the supermarket, but fresh and juicy all the same! Get a taste of the Med on your Patio this year.
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!
'Ruby Beauty' is a new concept rapsberry patio fruit variety - a unique breeding sensation in that it produces masses of short-branched canes that reach no more than 1m (3ft 3in), with the added bonus of being thornless. Its thick clump of canes produces heavy crops of up to 1.5kg on each established plant in 2 years or so, and starts fruiting in June, so is an early starter. This award-winning variety has an excellent fruit flavour, as demanded by today's consumers, making this the perfect all-rounder. For best results, grow in a large pot about 30cm or so in diamneter, allowing room for growth over many years. Picking is at 80-100cm tall, so easy to net and easy to pick - perfect for children, too. Why not make a raspberry hedge for an unusual garden feature? Just plant them about 70cm apart. Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot ready for planting.
