This year I bought some called Tullameen and we're going to grow the canes
ourselves. The flavour was superb.

I don't know how this variety got its name as Tullameen is a small town in
the Canadian Rockies some 200 miles east of Vancouver. I know it well as in
my youth I was based there, prospecting for gold and platinum. It is not a
fruit growing area and most of the houses are holiday homes. I have never
grown this variety despite my connections.

I would guess that it's a location in Ireland which has been
transplanted across the pond, like innumerable other Irish and Scottish
placenames.
