Grug Farm. Strawberry Plants. Hoeing Blackcurrant Bushes

Transcription

1 Our fruit nursery lies at an altitude of above 1000 feet, amongst the Radnorshire hills of east Wales. It has unsurpassed isolation from other fruit growing areas and the very healthy conditions allow us to grow many of our stocks organically. In the past this has been a traditional livestock rearing farm and so is in excellent heart. We still have sheep and cattle and this allows us to naturally maintain fertility, to use long rotations and to utilise our permanent pastures and hill grazing. Our family started growing nursery fruit bushes in the 1960s and when we found that other types of soft fruit grew so well here, we increased our range to include all the major types. We have a wide range of strawberry plants and fruit bushes (now all organically grown), and raspberry canes, many of which are also organic. We buy in the parent stocks at the highest health status available, to ensure that our plants are the healthiest possible. We multiply our own parent stock wherever possible to give us control from the earliest stage. The raspberry canes, strawberry plants and parent bushes are entered into the Plant Health Propagation Scheme (PHPS) and are health inspected at intervals throughout the growing season. They have passed their first inspection at the time of printing. We take great care of our plants throughout the seasons. We believe that by reducing any stresses on the plants (and animals) a lot of the common problems can be reduced. The stocks are grown at altitude and our customers tell us that the plants respond rapidly to softer environments and establish quickly. Our customers too have been impressed by the vigour of the plants and the quality of their root systems. Our organic plants are grown on our registered land and certified by Organic Farmers and Growers. We are pleased that we can produce the quality plants in such a sustainable way. Strawberry Plants Being members of several fruit breeding programmes we have access to many of the new improved varieties, but we also continue to grow some of the old favourites that rightly maintain their popularity. We hold one of the largest ranges of blackcurrant varieties including many of the new, much improved, more disease resistant Ben varieties. Grug Farm Being on the edge of several different habitats (heather moorland, ancient woodland, traditional grassland and small areas of wetland), the biodiversity is unique. It is good to be able to encourage the wildlife on the farm. We have recorded over 50 species of birds seen here, from redstarts to red kites and we have a very diverse flora too. We are fortunate to have a local, skilled team of people who work with the plants all year round. It is their dedication, in all weathers, together with careful day-to-day management, that ensures the high quality of our plants. Throughout the growing season we rely on hand hoeing, weeding and cultivation to keep the crops clean and to reduce the stress on the plants. Through the autumn, winter and spring, the plants are lifted, hand-selected and carefully packed ready for despatch. We use a 24-hour delivery service or Royal Mail First Class post to ensure the plants reach you in prime condition. Welsh Fruit Stocks is a small family business and our customers can be assured of a caring, personal service. We have been supplying gardeners with top quality plants since 1991 and have many very satisfied customers all over the country. There is a strong demand for our plants so to avoid disappointment please order early. Hoeing Blackcurrant Bushes

Spine-free canes with high yields of large, sweet, very conical and well-presented fruit which also freezes well. It has a long cropping period, continuing until early mid August. Its excellent disease resistance makes it good for organic growing. *OCTAVIA very late season This EMR variety extends the cropping period well into August; a useful extension to the season before the autumn fruiting begins. Very high quality fruit with large, firm berries and great flavour. The spiney canes are moderately vigorous with good disease resistance and exceptional winter hardiness, but they can be susceptible to Root Rot. AUTUMN BLISS autumn season An easy-to-manage primocane with wonderfully flavoured fruit of medium size, usually cropping from August until the first hard frosts. A firm favourite for many gardeners.

It can be susceptible to cane diseases, but has some resistance to Botrytis. Bred in Canada it has good weather and winter hardiness, but, due to its height, it benefits from a sheltered site. *JOAN IRENE autumn season A vigorous, spine-free primocane that crops from late August or early September and continues until the first hard frosts. The fruits have a bright, medium colour and good flavour. The canes are taller than other varieties so may need support at a greater height. Based on trials experience in the UK, Joan Irene does not appear to have any particular susceptibility to pests and diseases.

5 New! *CHUCKLEBERRY BUSHES ORGANIC Two-year-old bushes late mid season The Chuckleberry is a new and very exciting addition to our fruit family, bred by Chas Welch in Norfolk who crossed a redcurrant with a gooseberry and Jostaberry (itself a hybrid of a gooseberry and blackcurrant). The result is a blackcurrant-like bush that produces high yields of dark, superbly flavoured, attractive, versatile berries in mid-july. The berries make fantastic red jams and jellies, with flavours of all three fruits in their parentage. It has great potential for gardeners and food producers alike. We are selling the Chuckleberry in memory of Sian, who passed away in September 2011 after more than 20 years running Welsh Fruit Stocks with husband Nigel. We will make an annual donation of 10% of your purchase price to Macmillan Cancer Support and cancer charities. We hope you will have a smile, or maybe even a chuckle, whatever the outcome

Please see Delivery Charges below. THE PLANTS All the plants we sell are grown here on our nursery. All of our plants are all supplied as bare root plants and they will need immediate attention on receipt. Bare root plants have many advantages over potted plants and provided that they receive careful attention over the first few weeks they should establish quickly. We believe the health and character of our plants to be good. The raspberry canes and strawberry plants have all been entered into the Ministry Plant Health Propagation Scheme (PHPS) and have been inspected for trueness to type and health on at least two occasions through the growing season, and have passed all the inspections. The bush fruits have been grown from our PHPS certified parent stocks and we have carefully managed and inspected them on a very regular basis throughout the growing season. We ensure that all the plants leave us in perfect condition and they are packed to withstand three-four days in transit, but please examine them on receipt, and inform us if you are at all concerned. We do our very best to send you healthy plants, and you should expect healthy growth. However, as in nature, very occasionally some can fail. If this does occur, and you have followed all the instructions in our planting guide, you may contact us to discuss possible causes and replacements (as the season allows). The acceptance of an order does not constitute a contract to supply. Orders are accepted conditionally upon plants being available, subject to crop and certification. We endeavour to constantly assess the availability of plants, but in the event that we are unable to complete an order then we have the right to cancel the order without incurring any further liability to you. In this case a full refund of the plants and postage will be given. Very occasionally, for example, at the end of the season, we may need to substitute a variety of plant for one which we consider to be similar. If you do not want us to do this please notify us when ordering.

11 Some Fruit Facts Strawberry Plants are of the genus Fragaria, grow close to the ground and produce trifoliate leaves from a central crown. They produce runners (new plants) which can be removed to encourage fruiting or grown on to create a strawberry bed. Remove flowers/fruit in year 1 to help new plants establish. A good crop of fruit is expected for two-three years, although with a good home, they can last five or even six years. Planting Distance: 40-45cm (16-18 ) apart on a 1m (3 ) row Raspberry Canes are of the genus Rubus. Their multifoliate leaves grow on a single cane. The canes can grow fairly tall and can be spiny or spine-free, depending on the variety. Each year the raspberry roots send up new shoots (or suckers) from the ground. For summer fruiting varieties, this will be the fruiting cane for the following year. For autumn fruiting varieties (primocanes) this cane will produce fruit the same year. Grow best in well-drained soil, they do not like clay or waterlogged sites. Planting Distance: 45-55cm (18-22 ) apart on a 1.5m (5 ) row Gooseberry Bushes (Ribes). They produce large round berries that are green on culinary varieties, or red on dessert varieties. The older branches on the bush are tough and woody, whereas younger growth is tender and green. They can be spiny or almost spine free. Gooseberry bushes will grow sporadically if left alone, so pruning back to required size during the winter months is highly recommended. Blackcurrant & Chuckleberry Bushes (Ribes). They are a woody bush, with fairly straight shoots, growing on the growth from the previous year and also sending up new shoots from the base of the bush (the stool). The fruit is produced on the wood from the previous year, so the bush does not want to be cut down each year, but pruned to remove older growth and to maintain fruit production. They will fruit second summer after planting, but an autumn planted Chuckleberry may fruit in year one. Red and White Currants (Ribes). They grow in a similar way to a gooseberry bush, although they are not spiny, and produce very small berries on long strings. Fruit is produced on both the young and the old wood. The fruit is great for making jelly, juice and wine. Planting Distance: plant gooseberry and currant bushes 1.2m apart, and Chuckleberry bushes at 1m apart. Rhubarb is a rhizomatous perennial whose stems ( sticks ) are grown as a vegetable but they are used mainly as a dessert. It crops over a long period, is completely hardy and grows in any fertile garden soil as long as it is well drained and in full sun. Crowns ( sets ) can be cropped for ten or more years, though division may be necessary after about five years. Plant crowns in November or December although planting can continue up to the beginning of March. Plant the crown with the growing point at, or just below, the soil surface. On wetter soils planting with the buds just raised out of the soil may help prevent rotting. Planting Distance - If planting more than one crown, space plants 1m (3ft) apart, with 1-2m (3-6ft) between rows Great British Bred Unless mentioned in their descriptions, our varieties are bred in the UK by specialist breeders who carefully select desirable characteristics and cross them to create new cultivars. We are proud to be able to display these Great British Bred trademarks. find out more on our website.
