Fruits are borne throughout the summer and autumn and, being a perennial, plants fruit again in future years. They prefer a moist and shaded position, an advantage in itself as most gardens have such a spot hidden away. ... Learn More

Unique, and very very hard to find, Strasberries really are a unique type of strawberry that look and taste exactly like a cross between a strawberry and raspberry. They even have seed dimples reaching deep into the berry, giving them a bumpy raspberry-like appearance. You cannot in fact cross-breed strawberries and raspberries as they are not closely enough related.

Finally, th ... Learn More
