Varieties to go in Fruit Cage
« on: August 30, 2012, 20:20 »
Hi All,

I am currently planning my fruit section/cage on the lotty. Today, my wife brought home (from the supermarket) a packet of the most fabulous raspberries. On the packet the variety was 'driscoll maravilla'. I have done a bit of a search, but can't find any on line to buy. Any ideas where I can get some of these canes? is it the best variety?

While I ask, does anyone have any recommendations for varieties of the following;

Redcurrants, blackcurrants, gooseberries or blueberries (if there are different varieties of these things).

Thanks
Manteiga

raspberries come in early and late summer and autumn so you can get a crop from june to the fosts if you have space, they usually come in bundles of 5 bareroot  from nov to march.
I have a really nice dessert goosesberry which is dark red when ripe and really sweet can't remember the name.

I can recommend Polka raspberries -- Autumn fruiting, massive fruits that are luscious
