Gripple Wire Tensioning Kit

Gripple Wire Tensioning Kit Code: XGR001

£42.95 inc. p&p 42.9500

Description

The Gripple system is the fastest way to support climbing plants, fruits and vegetables, removing the need to work with awkward and unmanageable metal wire. It is ideal for raspberries, blackberries, grape vines and trained fruit trees. The system can be used on walls, fences and posts.  Easy to use - the solid U.V. stabilized nylon wire is fed through vine eyes or around posts and is automatically tensioned as it passes back through the unique push-fit Gripple Tensioner. It is easily pulled tight by hand and slack can be taken up by pulling more wire through. The Gripple system will support up to 100kg (220lbs) of load. There is no metal at all so nothing to rust.


The kit consists of 50m (165ft) of nylon trellis wire, 10 tensioners and 10 vine eyes.

Strawberry Plants 'Marshmello'A fantastic midseason variety, described by French chef Raymond Blanc as the sweetest strawberry he has ever tasted! Marshmello was bred from the cross Honeoye x Hapil and selected for its superb flavour rather than its shelf life. The large, glossy-red berries are not firm enough for the supermarkets but it is a very popular variety on 'Pick Your Own' farms and has become a firm favourite amongst home gardeners. The plants are strong and vigorous with excellent disease resistance.Buy Now
(image for) Japanese Wineberry Bush
£24.95Japanese Wineberry BushUse this plant to bring some winter cheer to the garden! Originating from Eastern Asia, the Japanese Wineberry is grown as much for its ornamental value as it is for its edible fruits. The plant is very decorative - it has dark red stems that are covered in soft red bristles. The calyx (which surrounds the flowers) are also covered in fine red bristles and contrast beautifully against the lime-green foliage which turns almost yellow-white at the time of fruiting. The dark red canes really stand out in the winter and look particularly attractive on a frosty morning. The berries are dark red when fully ripe, juicy and sweet and have a strong raspberry flavour. They are delicious picked straight from the bush but can also be cooked and used to make jam. Plant 1.8m (6ft) apart. Out Of Stock
