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.

(image for) Apple Tree 'Bloody Ploughman'
from £34.95Apple Tree 'Bloody Ploughman'First recorded in 1883, there is an interesting story behind the name of this well-known Scottish apple. It originates from the Carse of Gowrie where allegedly a ploughman was shot dead by a gamekeeper for stealing apples from the Megginch Estate. When the ploughman's body was returned to his wife she found some of the stolen apples in his pockets and got rid of them on the rubbish heap. One of the seedlings that subsequently grew produced apples that were blood red in colour and the tree gave rise to the cultivar that was named after the unfortunate ploughman. The fruits are crisp and juicy and when fully ripe can darken to an almost purple colour. The flesh is often stained red which makes it a good variety for juicing and it can also be used to produce cider. It is often considered a dessert apple in Scotland, but the flavour is not particularly sweet and in England it tends to be regarded as a cooker. It makes lovely apple sauce and beautiful pink pies and crumbles. The tree is disease resistant and hardy, performing well in colder areas of the UK. Out Of Stock
