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!


Well, Isle of Man, Brittany and a host of other Gaelic-speaking communities.

Anyway, how can you be sure? Have you looked for its Gaelic spelling?

Can you tell me where Creag a Bhodaich is?
