Fig Tree 'Doree'
£28.95Fig Tree 'Doree'A very sweet tasting fig that can crop outdoors twice a year! This very old variety dates back to the 17th century and is regarded as the best flavoured fig in France. The fruits are large (75-100g) and the flesh is very smooth and pinkish-red. The tree is more compact than many varieties and heavy cropping. It is well suited to our UK climate as it is very resistant to cold and withstands wet weather very well.Buy Now
Rhubarb 'Thompson's Terrifically Tasty' (3 crowns)
£19.95Rhubarb 'Thompson's Terrifically Tasty' (3 crowns)This aptly named variety goes back more than 80 years to the village of Great Oakley in Essex. It has been selected year on year and replanted by the Thompsons, who grow rhubarb commercially for sale into the London wholesale markets. It's great attribute is that it is the very first outdoor rhubarb on the market, as early as February, which means that it competes with the forced 'Golden Triangle' rhubarb but without all the bother of harvesting in the cellar with a candle on your head! In the first New Year flush the stems are shortish but thick and plentiful. The second crop in mid summer is an altogether larger stem of fine mid red colour. The flavour is delicious and when cooked with a handful of elderflowers makes a superb dessert.Buy Now
Cordon Gage 'Oullins Golden Gage'
£29.95Cordon Gage 'Oullins Golden Gage'Rated by the Victorian writer Hogg as having "exquisite flavour and handsome appearance," this old French variety is more like a plum than a true gage. The fruits are large by gage standards and particularly attractive - golden yellow with faint red spots. Eaten fresh, the flesh is sweet and gage-like with a fruity flavour, far superior to most shop-bought plums. The fruits are also excellent cooked and freeze very well. An excellent choice for the garden, the tree crops reliably countrywide, even in poor summers.Buy Now
