The plants offered in this catalogue are, for the first time, being grown under the rules of the new EU Fruit Plant Certification Scheme (FPCS). This EU wide statutory scheme is based on the long-established UK and Dutch certification schemes and is designed to extend the benefits of certification across the whole of the EU. The new EU scheme is administered in the UK by the NSA and run by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) who carry out extensive and independent inspections of all entered stocks. The Principles of Certification. The site must meet rotational and isolation requirements.. The parent material is derived from virus indexed pedigree stocks and meets the scheme specifications No disease masking pesticides are allowed (especially relevant. to Blackspot, Crown Rot, Redcore and Raspberry Root Rot). Every mother plant is inspected twice during the growing season by trained inspectors Any suspect plants are sent to the laboratory for further testing. There are published tolerances for any non-quarantine pests and diseases which must not be exceeded Certification Grades FPCS - Certified Stock Virus Tested Pedigree Mother Plants are produced by the Nuclear Stock Association (NSA) at East Malling by testing for all important viruses, pests and diseases using a full range of PCR and graft based tests. This Virus Indexed pre basic material is then used by commercial propagators to produce Basic (Grades 1 to 5) and Certified. FPCS - Approved Health When a variety is first released and before pedigree material is available from the NSA we offer stocks that have been entered and inspected at the Approved Health Grade. This grade is part of the FPCS and uses the same criteria as the Certified Grade with regard to the health of the stocks but offers no safeguard with regards to trueness to type. Plant Passport When the stringent requirements of FPCS are not met, Rubus and Strawberries are inspected once only by APHA against a much reduced set of criteria in order to meet the EU Plant Passport standard (CAC). FPCS Charges.

3 strawberries YOUR CHOICE OF PLANTS We offer strawberry plants in a wide range of plant types, providing you with the opportunity to select the plants most suited to your needs, taking into account your growing system, planting window, target pick date and plant budget. This guide provides the key points for each type, summarising the propagation method and application recommended. Soil Grown - Bare Root Plants Sold as fresh dug plants until December and then as frozen/frigo plants ex cold store January - June, these plants will carry a cold store charge of 6.50 per thousand. A+ Plants Graded by crown size from traditional runner beds, these carefully selected plants represent 25-30% of the daughter plants. The precise crown diameter used during the grading will vary from variety to variety and from year to year but under favourable establishment conditions, fruit growers can expect to harvest commercial yields within 50 to 60 days of planting. With fewer flowers than Waiting Bed plants, A+ are easier to establish and suitable for planting in soil any time from February to June and also for high density, late planting (June/July) in substrate by specialist growers. When grown in Jeremy Darby soil, plants can then be cropped for a further 1 or 2 seasons. A Grade Plants These plants are graded by crown diameter and represent the next 50% of the plants from the traditional runner bed. Ideal for planting in soil and often de-blossomed after planting, A Grade plants are a low risk, relatively low cost option for larger scale growers who are planning for 2 and 3 year cropping cycles in lower input growing systems. Waiting Bed Plants The preferred option for maximising day fruit yields in both substrate and soil based growing systems. These plants are produced in a Waiting Bed (WB), grown at a controlled density, and are runner cut in order to maximise crown size, truss numbers and flower counts. WB plants are ideal for programmed cropping by specialist growers. Experienced growers willl know that in order to maximise the fruiting potential of these plants, they must only be planted under optimum conditions for rapid root development. For spring and summer planting, short cycle, high frequency sprinkler irrigation is required for successful plant establishment. Flower mapping recommended. We offer Waiting Bed plants in 2 forms: Fresh Waiting Bed (FWB): grown from summer dug fresh plants and offered as heavies for planting from January to March and mediums and lights for planting from April to June. Double Cold-stored Waiting Bed (DCWB) also termed Frigo Waiting Beds: grown on for a second season from over-wintered, cold-stored small plants and offered as heavies - often multi-crowned plants - for planting from January to March and mediums for planting from April to June. 4 Substrate Grown Plants Misted Tips Grown to order for sale late July/early August, tips are easy to establish under light sprinkler irrigation, develop quickly and initiate high quality flower trusses with the potential to deliver a full crop of Class 1 fruit next summer. Tray Plants Grown to order in a 50:50 mix peat and coir. Tray plants maximise the truss and flower number in each plant allowing growers to plan their planting and cropping cycles to maximum effect. Available ex cold-store January - late June. Fresh Tray Plants (FTP): large single crowned plants grown from fresh tips, struck in July. Suitable for long term storage. Double Cold-stored Tray Plants (DCTP) also termed Frigo Waiting Beds: grown from coldstored, small plants, planted into trays in March/April these produce multi-crowned plants with high flower counts most suited to early planting to maximise yield. picking periods for main season strawberries strawberries Vibrant Malling Centenary Christine 50% Pick Date Honeoye All data supplied by EMR Elsanta & Sweetheart Sonata Alice Elegance Fenella Symphony Lucy Florence Malwina Judibell JUNE JULY AUGUST 5 Misted Tip Plants

4 strawberries Malling TM Centenary EU Bred by the East Malling Strawberry Breeding Club at NIAB-EMR and released in 2013, Malling TM Centenary has already established itself as the most widely grown and pre-eminent June bearing variety in the UK. A combination of superb fruit quality, excellent flavour, 98% Class I yields and phenomenal picking speeds has underpinned this variety s success. Fruit quality and yield This early season selection has been released as a direct result of the variety s superb flavour, appearance and shelf life compared to the industry s previous standards of Elsanta and Sonata. The berries are very regularly shaped and large, with 62% of the crop greater than 35mm in the HDC substrate trial (SF128). This is the result of a relatively simple flower truss structure that gives 5-6 flowers per truss. The berries have a high level of gloss which is retained during storage. The flavour has consistently been extremely good in all trials. Shelf life is excellent and the variety was rated 1st for shelf life in the 2015 Hoogstraten glasshouse trial. In the HDC trial over four seasons Malling TM Centenary has performed very well as a tray plant yielding in excess of 440g/plant and was the second highest yielding selection at 717g/plant in the following year in the HDC Substrate Trial (SF /12). In the 2015 Proefcentrum Hoogstraten Glasshouse Trial, Malling TM Centenary yield was 6.9Kg/m 2, comparable to the highest yielding varieties in the trial and cropped over the period 18/3/15 to 7/5/15. The variety performs well in open field production with yields superior to those of Elsanta. Significant efforts are being made to understand the factors that limit yield in Malling TM Centenary in order to identify the ways in which propagators can produce higher yielding plants. Husbandry and Season Malling TM Centenary is an early variety with a 50% pick date some 5 days ahead of Sonata and with a slightly shorter picking season than Elsanta. The variety has markedly different nutritional requirements compared to Sonata and appears to benefit from higher levels of nitrogen and calcium. The large berry size, excellent presentation and the absence of Class II fruit results in much higher picker speeds for Malling TM Centenary compared to standard varieties as evidenced by rates recorded by H & H Duncalfe in 2016 and show savings of 48 pence per kg of picked fruit. The variety shows very little resistance to soil borne pathogens and has a similar susceptibilty to Crown Rot as Elsanta and care needs to be taken to manage the variety, particularly when grown in substrate. Detailed observations of Malling TM Centenary s performance this year have highlighted the link between the number of inflorescences and yield in different plant types and that smaller plants normally yield above the level indicated by flower counts. 6 Malling TM Centenary Comparison of Picking Rates and Costs Vibrant Centenary kg/hour /kg kg/hour /kg Season Average Fastest 3 pickers Figures courtesy H&H Duncalfe, Maltmas Farm 2016 Jeremy Darby and the Double Cold-Stored Trial Certified Stock.

Kraege s have consistently delivered well graded and reliable plants of Malling Centenary over the last three seasons and have established a loyal following amongst our most discerning customers. Growers ordering these plants will be supplied a mixture of heavy, medium and light waiting beds dependant on the season s production. Tray Plants Fresh-Struck Tray Plants (FTP) Grown and supplied by Kraege Beerenpflanzen for R.W. Walpole Ltd these are large, single crowned plants grown from fresh tips, struck in July. These plants are capable of producing substantial yields of fruit and are the most suitable for longer term storage. Double Cold-Stored Tray Plants (DCTP) Using our own FPCS Certified cold-stored plants planted in early May we are able to produce a strong multi-crowned tray plant with a high flower count and a high yield. These plants are most suited to early planting in order to achieve their maximum potential. NB: Some losses have been experienced with Malling Centenary when grown in coir-peat substrates. Experimental work carried out by Meiosis and supported by NIAB-EMR has shown that such losses can be minimised by the use of higher rates of calcium nitrate in the Tray Plant Fields. Growers need to take all possible precautions to limit any problems caused by Crown Rot.

Fruit quality and yield Vibrant produces beautifully shaped, uniform, conic berries which are medium to large in size and with virtually no Class II fruit. The berries are glossy, brilliant red in colour and are carried on strongly erect, long, flowering peduncles. Vibrant was bred to give a high 60-day yield by producing a large number of flowering trusses in succession thus cropping over an extended period. Each truss carries only 4 to 5 flowers thus maintaining a larger fruit size (72% of the Vibrant crop exceeded 35mm compared to 56% for Elsanta in the Hoogstraten trial). Maincrop yields have been consistently good and have normally exceeded 1kg per plant. Picking speeds are exceptional due to the good presentation of the berries and the fruit is easily handled and packed being firmer than both Clery and Elsanta. Flavour is excellent and Vibrant was the top rated selection for flavour in the HDC Substrate Trial in Husbandry and Season A genuinely early variety with a 50% pick date at least seven days ahead of Elsanta. The plants are moderately vigorous with good resistance to Powdery Mildew and Crown Rot but are susceptible to Verticillium Wilt. A second crop can occur if the crop has been forced and up to 400gms of good quality fruit can be produced from July onwards.

9 strawberries Late Season: Listed in order of cropping Everbearers strawberries Malwina EU Bred in Germany in 1998 by Peter Stoppel from a Sophie cross, Malwina has set a new standard for late season varieties in the direct marketing sector and is considered to be one of the best flavoured varieties currently available. Fruit quality and yield Malwina produces glossy, dark red, firm and red-fleshed berries that have a lovely sweet aroma, exceptionally high Brix readings and an excellent flavour. The berries are large with over 85% of the crop exceeding 35mm in diameter and maintain their life through the season. It is recommended that the crop is picked regularly to maintain the best quality. The variety produces short fruiting pedicels which tend to hide the fruit within the foliage and reduce the picking rate. It is self-fertile. Yields are some 10-15% lower than Elsanta but the berries have a very good tolerance to rain and are further protected by a vigorous leaf canopy. Husbandry and Season Malwina delivers both a pick start date and a 50% pick date some 12 days later than Florence which provides an extremely useful and valuable extension to the June bearer season in the UK. The plant is very robust and vigorous with dark green, glossy leaves; the application of nitrogen fertilizer needs to be very carefully managed to avoid excessive vegetable growth. It is very hardy and resistant to most disease; the variety is resistant to Mildew and tolerant to Verticillium Wilt and Red Core and exhibits only a limited susceptibility to Botrytis. It is, however, susceptible to Crown Rot. The late flowering season means that special attention needs to be paid to combatting both Blossom Weevil and Thrips. Growers should note that approximately 3% of the fruits exhibit Phyllody, whereby small leaves emerge from the fruit on about one fruit per plant. This defect is stable and does not spread.

11 raspberries floricane floricane raspberries Main Season: Listed in order of cropping Glen Fyne EU A superbly flavoured mid-season selection from JHI with real potential to supersede Tulameen as the premier quality floricane. Bred by Nikki Jennings of MRS, Glen Fyne produces firm, bright, cohesive berries that are attractively coloured and comparable in size and shelf life to those of Glen Ample. Glen Fyne commences cropping three days earlier than Glen Ample, continues for a longer season and has consistently out yielded Glen Ample and is easy to pick. The variety produces exceptionally fine flavoured, aromatic fruit throughout its long season and when subjected to professional sensory profiling was ranked superior to all other selections including Tulameen. Glen Fyne is moderately vigorous, producing long and strong spinefree canes with close internodes suggesting that the variety has potential as a long cane. The berries are well presented on strong laterals and the canes are easily managed. Approved Health Standard Cane: 675 per 1000 Spring Potted Plants: 710 per 1000 Long Cane 1.2m: 917 per 1000 Root: 17 per Kg Glen Ample EU 2729 Glen Ample is a mid-season summer fruiting spine-free raspberry raised at JHI. The variety has produced exceptional yields of firm fruit in trials and has established new standards in raspberry production for many years. Glen Ample produces large fleshy fruits of about 4-5gms, which are round-conical in shape, attractive and with an excellent flavour. The fruit 'holds' well on the cane resulting in significantly reduced picking costs. The 50% pick date is some 10 days later than Glen Moy but with a considerably longer picking season. The variety is spine-free with very upright canes. Spawn production is prolific making cane number control essential. The fruiting laterals are upright and present the fruit well. Glen Ample is susceptible to aphid transmitted viruses, Root Rot, Spur Blight and Cane Rust. Yields can decline over time when husbandry conditions are less than ideal.

17 blackberries blackberries Main Season: Listed in order of cropping Loch Maree EU Bred by JHI, Loch Maree is semi-erect, thorn free and vigorous. This selection is earlier than Loch Ness and produces moderately firm, attractive berries slightly smaller than Loch Ness but with a markedly superior flavour. Yields are very good and have been consistently better than Loch Tay in trials. The variety produces unusual, pink coloured, double blossom making it attractive for amateur use. Asterina EU Application No var. Fruloche Bred in Switzerland and the result of a cross between Loch Ness and Chester, Asterina has exceptional flavour. This variety is thornless with a good level of vigour. The fruit is very large, bright and shiny with an excellent blackberry aroma; the first berries ripen in mid-july and picking continues over a prolonged period. Loch Ness This thornless blackberry, bred at JHI, produces a very high yield of top quality fruit. The fruit is large, typically 5gms or more, very firm and glossy black with an excellent flavour when fully ripe. Yield is good with picking commencing in early August and continuing until first frosts. Loch Ness has good resistance to Purple Blotch and Botrytis but warm, wet weather in June can highlight the variety's susceptibility to Downy Mildew (Peronospora rubi). The inherent quality of this variety and, in particular, its winter hardiness, make it one of the best adapted for the northern European climate. Loch Ness produces strong semi-erect and erect canes. On well established plants, tip pruning of newly emerged primocanes is recommended. Planting distances vary from 1.25m to 2.0m depending on soil fertility and irrigation. NB: Loch Ness is slow to establish and achieve its full yield potential. 32 Loch Maree Asterina Loch Ness Late Season: Listed in order of cropping Chester Well presented, shiny black fruit of 5-6gms with an attractive fruity flavour and superb shelf life are typical of this variety. The berries do not soften or lose their attractive shine under hot conditions. The picking season begins in mid- August in the UK and normally continues until the first frosts, although quality declines in early October. The yield potential of this variety is unequalled. The variety is extremely vigorous producing semi-erect thornless canes. In our experience, Chester thrives on heavy, non-irrigated soils. Disease resistance is excellent with no evidence of Downy Mildew or Purple Blotch. Plant spacings of 2.0m to 2.5m are recommended. Tip pruning of newly emerged primocanes is essential. Triple Crown A semi-erect, spine free, late season, quality blackberry. The berries are significantly larger than those of Chester at 6.5gms and have a bright shiny appearance and excellent shelf life. Flavour is superior to Chester and is considered to be the best flavoured of all the erect, thornless types, although the fruit is a little softer. Cropping commences towards the end of August and continues until the first frosts. The canes are frost hardy and vigorous.

Darlise has a high fertiliser requirement. 455 per thousand Gijnlim Mid-Season EU A very high yielding, mid-season, all male clonal hybrid. In the HDC Asparagus Variety Trial Gijnlim was the highest yielding variety and produced the greatest number of spears over 10mm in diameter.

Warranties and Liability This section sets out our warranties and liabilities and particularly the limits to our liabilities. NB: The reason for these limitations of liability is that whilst we, and other propagators from whom we have purchased plants, have taken all reasonable care and have managed our crops according to current accepted husbandry practices this does not guarantee trueness to type in all circumstances nor freedom from pests and diseases. The price of our goods reflects these limits to our liability. Anyone wishing to purchase plants with specific guarantees is invited to make their requirements known to the company and we will, if possible, provide a quotation that meets these requirements When shown on our paperwork as FPCS certified, R W Walpole Ltd warrant that the strawberry plants and raspberry canes have been grown and produced to APHA Plant Health standards and inspected and certified under the EU Fruit Plant Certificate Scheme (FPCS). Details of the FPCS certification scheme, including the tolerances for visible signs of pest(s) and disease(s), are published on the following website and are available from R W Walpole Ltd on request. FPCS grades Basic and Certified for both strawberries and raspberries are inspected and certified as true to type based on visual assessment of botanical characteristics, but the inspections do not guarantee the identification of possible genetic mutations. Material certified at the FPCS grade, Approved Health(AH), is inspected and certified as to health but not in respect of trueness to type. 41
