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.

No such place, either in Scotland or Ireland!
