Garden Soft Fruit

What a huge range of subjects this encompasses! Most can easily be accommodated into the garden border if you wish and bring alternative interest to that provided by ornamentals; what better than a climber that fruits after it has flowered (such as one of our hybrid berries) or a pretty Spring flowering shrub that fruits later in the year (such as a blueberry).

Without exception, all are suitable for growing in pots or containers.

Honeyberry

Lonicera caerulea edulis (Honeyberry) Native to Sibera, this edible member of the honeysuckle family is the latest super-fruit on the market! The large elliptical berries are a similar colour & taste to blueberries with a slight aftertaste of honey! The fruit is very high in antioxidants, loaded with Vitamin C & retains flavour & form when frozen. For best fruiting results, plant two.

This product is supplied in a 3L pot.

Plant 1.5m (5ft) - 2m (7ft) apart, in rows 4ft (14ft) apart.

Honeyberries will grow well in most soils but loose & free-draining soil with a pH of 6.5 would be ideal. They can, however cope with a range between 5 & 8.

Planting:

Dig a hole approx 50cm deep & wide and place the plant in. Firm the soil around the plant & water in well.

After Care:

Pruning is best done in early spring as the plant breaks into bud, however it is recommended to keep pruning to a minimum to maximise fruit yield. Mulch yearly with well rotted manure or compost to retain moisture & suppress weeds. Apply a general fertiliser in spring.
