growing cloudberry
During a recent trip to Finland, I sampled that food of the Gods, cloudberry jam. From what little research I have done, it seems cloudberry (Rubus Chamaemorus) grows in peatbogs in sub-arctic areas. I am wondering whether I might be able to grow the plant here in the Midlands of Ireland (we do have peat bogs within a short few miles, and getting peat into the soil specially for those berries would not be a problem if that is all it takes). Has anyone successfully tried somewhere in the UK or Ireland who could give me some advice? Thanks in advance ! Cat(h) |

Has anyone successfully tried somewhere in the UK or Ireland who could give me some advice? We had a thread on this. As they are native, and you live in a peat area, I should be surprised if you had too much trouble. But nobody seemed to have actual experience .... Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Damned if I know... But I found a nursery near Inverness who is happy to post seeds... for a wee bit of money, of course. Cat(h) |
