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. 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
