Braeburn Apple

Braeburn Apple

'Braeburn' in the most popular dessert apple in the UK. Discovered in New Zealand in 1952, it is named after the orchard where it was first grown.Famous for its incredibly juicy, firm, white fleshed fruits with greenish yellow skins streaked with orange and red, its flavour is considered to have a perfect balance of sweetness and acidic tartness. This refreshing taste sensation is what makes this such a popular apple.Beautiful pale pink blossom in April and May is followed by the large fruit that can be picked from late September. They keep very well if kept cool, easily lasting until January, so don't worry too much about the bumper crop that 'Braeburn' will deliver as you'll have plenty of time to enjoy eating it. Although it's a dessert apple, it's wonderful in puddings such as tarts because it maintains its shape and flavour and doesn't release too much liquid.'Braeburn' is self-fertile, so it doesn't need another apple nearby to pollinate it. However, the already excellent harvest will increase further if there is one.Supplied as a bare root tree, 1.35-1.45m tall on a dwarfing M9 rootstock, growing to a height and spread of 2.5m.

Plum Victoria Tree

A plum named in honour of the much-loved Queen, 'Victoria' is the UK's favourite variety by a mile and deservedly so!

With the remaining fruit you can make jams and preserves, and of course eat them stewed up with custard!Having been discovered in Alderton, Sussex in 1844 and grown and enjoyed by gardeners every year since, 'Victoria' really has stood the test of time - undoubtedly because of the sublime flavour and productivity - a fully established tree of this 'self-fertile' variety will produce up to 100lbs of fruit across a bumper season.Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure 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, for stunning displays for many years to come. This variety has also been recommended as a 'Plant for Pollinators' by the RHS.Supplied as a bare root dormant tree on a dwarfing rootstock, approximately 1.35-1.45m tall, to plant.I just had to tell you that I bought a Victoria plum tree and a sweet cherry tree earlier in the year. Both arrived in wonderful condition, spent some time in a bucket having a good drink as recommended, then planted.  I was fascinated to see blossom appear on both trees. Considering they were young dwarf stock I hardly expected to see that. I expected they would spend their first few years putting down roots.I have just eaten the first plum of 6 my little tree produced.  Oh my, what flavour, what sweetness! It truly stopped me in my tracks.Anyway I thought I just had to tell you what joy my little tree has brought.Thank you. A very satisfied customer!Julie, Warwickshire, September 2016

Leek Musselburgh Seeds

Leek Musselburgh Seeds

A superb all-rounder for reliability, hardiness and flavour, this heritage variety was first cultivated by Victorian gardeners in the Scottish town of Musselburgh after being brought over from France in the 1830s. Since then it has become a firm favourite all around the UK, particularly in colder regions where other vegetables may not thrive - great for picking from late autumn to early spring when little else is available to bring in from the plot to the plate. A shorter variety of leek, it has densely packed, sturdy stems with creamy white bases rising to dark green leaves at the top.You won't find Musselburgh leeks in the supermarket as their growing span is too long commercial production, but this variety will reward the home gardener many times over with plentiful crops of superb quality. These leeks are easy to grow, with good resistance to pests and extremes of heat and cold. They can be left in the ground until needed, although once picked they will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge.
