They are less tart than blackberries, which they superficially resemble, and this makes them better for eating fresh, although they also make good jams. Billing them as a so-called superfood and ...

Golden raspberries are a rare and exquisite juicy treat, sometimes sold as a novelty berry at specialist markets when they command a very high price.

They make superb jams and pie fillings too! ... Learn More

They prefer a moist and shaded position, an advantage in itself as most gardens have such a spot hidden away. ... Learn More

Grow them in a well prepared and manured bed as you would a marrow. Very few good seeds collected. ... 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. However, many years ago, German plant breeder Otto Schindler did years of laborious work by selectively crossing and selecting strawberries over numerous generations to intensify the unique raspberry flavour compounds. Finally, th ... Learn More
