Mini
Orange - 'Citrus Tuscan
Tangerine' |
| Fabulous
fragrant white flowers are produced singularly on
branches throughout the summer. These are followed by
medium-sized, thin skinned tangerines that separate
easily into segments. A great plant for growing in a pot
on a sunny patio but it will need to be moved in to a
frost-free place in winter. |

Calamondine
- 'Citrus mitis (Calamondine)' |
| A lovely,
vigorous plant with bright green leaves and scented
waxy, white flowers from spring to summer. The blooms
are followed by small, spherical fruit with sweetish,
thin, bright orange peel and sour flesh with few seeds.
Unlike most citrus, the Calamondine orange is quite
hardy and very resistant to cold but is best grown in a
pot and in colder areas should be moved to a frost-free
place in winter. |

Fig
- 'Ficus carica Brown Turkey' |
| This
deciduous, spreading shrub with decorative, 3- or
5-lobed, mid-green leaves is best grown as against a
south or south-west facing wall. In long, hot summers it
will produce an abundant crop of brown, pear-shaped
fruit with red flesh. These are rich and sweet and
available for picking from August to September. An
interesting and easy plant to grow, and is among one of
the oldest fruits in cultivation. |

Apricot
- 'Prunus armeniaca Early Orange' |
| Reliable
and the most commonly grown apricot in Europe. Grafted
on strong, vigorous root stocks to provide high yeilds
and an ultimate (un-pruned height) height of 8-12 feet
but they can easily be kept at a height of 6-8 feet for
the smaller garden, or if a more compact tree is
required. |

 |
Olive
Tree - 'Olea
europaea' |
| Tiny,
fragrant, creamy-white, summer flowers and grey-green
leaves, retained all year. This elegant, evergreen tree
makes an excellent specimen plant for a sunny,
Mediterranean-style garden. In frost-prone areas it's
best grown in a large container under glass or planted
at the base of a sunny, sheltered wall. |

Kiwi Fruit -
'Actinidia' |
| Creamy-white,
early summer flowers on robust shoots covered with
reddish-brown hairs, followed by delicious,
greenish-brown Kiwi fruit. Ideal for training up a
pergola or against a wall, even a free standing pole in
a sunny position. This special variety is self fertile,
meaning you do not need several plants to produce fruit,
and it will start producing within a year of planting.
Early ripening means fruit can be gathered before the
arrival of cooler weather. It also has a more compact
habit than most, a useful trait if garden space is at a
premium. |

Nectarine
- 'Prunus persica nucipersica' |
| Nectarines
originate from the Orient and now thrive on a commercial
basis in Mediterranean areas. They do best in a
sheltered sunny site in the UK. We have grown and
fruited them sucessfully on the nursery without any
protection, so would suggest they are well worth a go
throughout the country. If grown as a fan-trained tree
against a south-facing wall, they will certainly produce
a large crop of delicious fruit in many areas. |

Naranjilla
- Lost Fruit of the Incas - Solanum
quitoense |
| A
stunning plant with huge, velvety, purple and
green foliage. Grown in South America for its
delicious lemony pineapple tasting fruit. Ideally grown in
the UK in pots for light shade away from strong
winds and over wintered in a frost free environment.
The fruits are about the size of a tomato. |

Citrus
Tree - 'Kumquat' |
| Preferring a
minimum winter temperature of 40ºf/5ºc at night and a
little higher by day. They require plenty of light, and
are great in a Conservatory. Deliciously fragrant white
flowers open throughout the summer and are followed by
good quality fruit. A compact, large shrub which is best
grown in a pot where is can be placed in a frost-free
place in winter, ideal to place outside in the summer
months. |

Peach
- 'Prunus persica Bonanza' |
| Dwarf variety
that produces numerous yellow peaches in July. A great
variety for a small garden as it only reaches 1.5m (5ft)
tall. Peaches can be grown successfully in most areas of
Britain and can withstand the cold. However they dislike
too much rain and windy areas and need plenty of heat
and sun to ripen the fruit. Plant against a warm,
south-facing wall for best results. |

| Peach
Trees originate from China and now thrive on a
commercial basis in Mediterranean areas. They do best in
a sheltered sunny site in the UK. We have grown and
fruited them sucessfully on the nursery without any
protection, so would suggest they are well worth a go

Peach
- 'Prunus persica Sanguide de
Savoie' |
| An excellent
peach with dark red flesh that comes away from the stone
easily. It produces attractive flowers in mid-spring and
tasty peaches in September. A reliable variety that will
grow in most areas if planted against a warm,
south-facing wall. |

Goji Berry
- 'Lycium' (Fully
Hardy) |

from southwest Asia these attractive little berries are
about 2cm (¾") in diameter and have a mild, sweet
liquorice flavour. High in antioxidants, they contain
beta-carotene, vitamins B1 and B2, minerals and amino
acids and are believed, among other things, to
strengthen the immune system, help eyesight, protect the
liver and improve circulation, as well as to benefit the
complexion. Plants are hardy and easy to grow in a sunny
