The fruit are sweet and juicy, while the plant is less susceptible to mildew than many other varieties, meaning healthier plants. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Harvest late June-July.Growing your own fruit has to be one of the most rewarding things any gardener can do. Not only can you grow varieties that youd be hard pushed to find in any greengrocer, but you can grow the more expensive fruit, saving money along the way. Included in my fruit range are varieties Ive grown for years on my allotment and in my garden, all of which are firm favourites of mine, my family and friends. All the varieties grow really well on an allotment and in a garden.
