Cranberry Bush 'Earliblack'

Cranberry Bush 'Earliblack'

Cranberry Bush 'Earliblack' Code: BLU005

£15.00 15.0000 In Stock New

Vaccinium macrocarpon 'Early Black'

The most widely grown variety of cranberry on account of its reliability. The fruits are dark red, almost black and have a good tangy flavour.  More resistant to frost and disease than other varieties.


Pollination: Self-fertile.


Plant size: 9cm pot.


Available for delivery: all year.

 

Apart from being fruitful, cranberry bushes have year round ornamental appeal with pretty pink flowers in the summer, dark red berries in the autumn and rich red evergreen foliage in the autumn and winter. Their trailing habit makes them perfect for rockeries, pots, window boxes and hanging baskets. Lingonberry bushes have a more upright habit but will only reach a maximum height of 15-20cm (6-8in) and can be spaced 30cm (12in) apart. Both these plants are acid loving and therefore make wonderful companions for pot grown blueberries (cranberries will spread along the top of the compost and hang down the sides). Cranberry and Lingonberry bushes are container grown and available for despatch throughout the year.

Apple Tree 'Granny Smith'
£25.95Apple Tree 'Granny Smith'This well know variety was discovered in Australia in the 1860s and is grown in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and parts of North America and Europe. In many countries it is regarded as a dual-purpose variety but it requires a long hot summer for the sugars and flavour to develop and is therefore normally only suitable as a cooker when grown in the UK. It produces heavy crops of bright green apples with lighter flecking. The greenish-white flesh is coarse textured and juicy and has a sharp flavour that sweetens in storage. The fruits are perfect for pies and tarts as they retain their shape when cooked. They are also good added to salads as they are less likely to brown than other varieties. The tree is easy to grow and heavy cropping.Buy Now
