Buying fruit trees/bushes
Whilst not wishing to cast ALL suppliers in a dim light I would welcome recommendation s for suppliers who supply genuine varieties. Thought I would have a go at some of the raspberries and strawberries that have been recommended on here lately but suspicious of non specialist sellers.

Janet For a previous house/garden I used Scotts of Merriot, however, like most really good suppliers I'm not sure if they have been undercut and destroyed by rubbish suppliers. Rhododendron, Varieties Red, Pink and White springs to mind. There's always Hilliers of course, are they still going? Rivers nursery maybe? Good Luck Don |

Trouble with them is they use Colt rootstock for their cherries which gives a bigger tree than Gisela 5 which is what I want my two new cherries on. No ladders needed ever. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

Looks like I will have to buy one from Blackmoor Nursery, Liss, Hampshire and one from Pomona in order to get exactly what I want. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

Janet This week I took delivery of my first order placed with Blackmoors...... www.blackmoor.co.uk of 10 canes of bare-rooted Raspberry "Polka" an Autumn fruiting type. I was most impressed with the packing and service and especially with the quality of the canes roots. The pack also contained a bakers dozen (13) instead of the 10 ordered ! Based on this first experience I can recommend them. vsop. |

We've used Victoriana in the past and have been happy with them, but I think we've mostly used them for seeds rather than plants. |
