Apple 'Elstar' and 'James Grieve' Duo TreeNow everyone can grow fruit trees in the minimum of space! These incredible duo fruit trees have been meticulously grafted by highly skilled nurserymen to provide 2 different apple varieties growing on one rootstock. What's more, the rootstocks are dwarfing, meaning that your trees will always remain compact. You will get 2 different varieties of fruit from 1 tree - perfect for anyone who loves the idea of picking their own home-grown fresh fruit but has limited garden space. They are ideal for growing in a container on your patio and equally happy in a small border. With stunning spring blossom and attractive autumn foliage, not only do they taste good - they look good too! 'Elstar' AppleA versatile variety that is delicious and juicy eaten straight from the tree, this apple's honeyed sweetness balanced with acidic notes means it is also a great choice for cooking - superb in cakes and desserts and makes a great apple sauce! Producing medium-sized dessert apples, greenish-yellow at the base and flushing to an attractive red at the top, 'Elstar' are satisfying to bite into, their lemon-white flesh being crunchy but not too crisp. And, of course, they are bursting with juicy flavour.Developed in the Netherlands in the 1950s by crossing Golden Delicious with Ingrid Marie, this dessert apple is a favourite across Europe but not often seen in the UK. For use from October to December. 'James Grieve' Another superb old variety that you won't find in supermarkets. If you pick the elegant, red and green, satin-sheened fruit in early to mid-September, they are refreshingly acidic, sharp, and perfect for cooking scrummy apple crumbles and pies. However, if your wait a few weeks longer, the delicious flavour mellows, becoming mild, sweet and truly excellent picked straight from the tree. The soft flesh is literally packed with juice and glistens tantalisingly when you bite into it. If you can resist eating your whole crop, they make truly incredible juice! For use from September to October. Both varieties individually hold the RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you can be sure they will reward you with delicious full-sized fruit year after year. Fully hardy and self-fertile, they will produce bumper crops with the minimum of effort. Because they are already trained into a V shape, they are perfect for growing against a wall or fence, where they will reach a mature height of 1.5-1.8m.
Also known as Stokes' aster, 'Blue Star' does just what its name suggests - it's a star performer for your garden. Large, pale blue, cornflower-like flowers are produced over a low mound of attractive green leaves, making it an ideal plant for late summer containers or for added colour in autumn in your beds or borders. Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators' because the flowers are produced through the spring and summer and are a favourite with butterflies and bees. Easy to grow and hardy in the UK down to -15°C (5°F), Stokesia is a reliable 'doer' and the frilly blue flowers are produced in abundance through the summer and autumn. Superb when combined with yellow flowers for contrast, Stokesia is a great plant for cut flowers too, so you can bring their colour into your home. An evergreen perennial, Stokesia provides garden colour all year round, and we supply a collection of 6 plug plants ready for you to pot up and grow on before planting out.
With its delightful deep violet and gold flowers, the sweetly scented, two-tone 'Rhubarb and Custard' flowers of this choice Nemesia appear from early summer and will just keep coming right up until November - that's six whole months of colour. The strong and heady perfume is wonderful on a warm summer's day, so be sure to grow in a place where you can appreciate the fragrance. With a neat , semi-upright habit, 'Rhubarb and Custard' is perfect for taller containers and even hanging baskets where the flowers will tower over the edges and create a dense, floriferous display. Versatile, they make a lovely border plant too, especially when planted en-masse where they'll create a real impact. Easy to grow Nemesia thrives in cool or hot weather and tolerates a little frost too, so stays in bloom much longer than many summer plants. Supplied as 6 x plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.
With highly fragranced blooms that open through the summer, the buds of the scented night phlox emerge like little match sticks over the plant before bursting into a myriad of shining pinwheels. An easy-to-grow, compact plant, the scented night phlox forms a neat mound of aromatic, evergreen foliage topped with an abundance of petite buds which open in the evening to reveal the sparkling white flowers and their fabulous honey-vanilla scent. Flowers close in the heat of the day and in the evening they unfurl releasing their intoxicating perfume! Night-scented plants are common, but the overwhelming sweet fragrance of Zaluzianskya is one of the best! To really appreciate Night Phlox, plant up into your favourite container and add to tables when alfresco dining.

Grown to be the ideal size for growing in a pot on your patio, whilst still delivering a scrumptious crop of delicious apples, Patio 'Elstar' is an excellent choice if space is limited. A versatile variety that is delicious and juicy eaten straight from the tree and this apple's honeyed sweetness balanced with acidic notes means it is also a great choice for cooking - superb in cakes and desserts and makes a great apple sauce! Producing medium-sized dessert apples, greenish-yellow at the base and flushing to an attractive red at the top, 'Elstar' are satisfying to bite into, their lemon-white flesh being crunchy but not too crisp. And, of course, they are bursting with juicy flavour when it's time to pick them in October. By experty grafting to the M9 rootstock 20-30cm above soil level, we've been able to further restrict the already dwarfing habit to produce a wonderful yet productive patio tree. 'Elstar' is self-sterile, to it'll another apple tree nearby to pollinate it, either in your own garden or someone else's - not a problem with so many people now growing their own fruit and vegetables! Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, harvesting for many years to come. Supplied as an established tree, 90-110cm (3ft) tall grown on an M9 dwarfing rootstock in a 5L pot, growing to a height and spread of 1.5m (5ft).
'Rubinstar' apples are a lovely, rich maroon colour, occasionally splashed of with yellow, and being related to 'Jonagold' they are big and fabulously juicy with a deliciously sweet flavour and a crisp crunch. A versatile apple, they are gorgeously tasty picked straight from the tree and also ideal for cooking, making tasty desserts. 'Rubinstar' is a mutation of 'Jonagold' and is a 'triploid' variety, meaning that it has three sets of chromosomes instead of the usual two. Triploid varieties are sterile, so they can't pollinate themselves or other apple trees. They need other trees nearby to pollinate them, not an issue if you grow more than one apple in your garden, or if a nearby neighbour does! Supplied as an established tree, 150cm (5ft) tall grown on an M9 dwarfing rootstock in a 24cm pot, growing to a height, and spread of 2.5m (8ft).
