Just had an email from Plants of Distinction saying:
"New rules coming into place at the end of the year will mean that we are unable to continue offering the wide selection of Heirloom Tomatoes that many of you have enjoyed growing over the years. Familiar names such as Black from Tula, ....., Lemon Tree, and Russian Black are just a few of the varieties disappearing from the UK for good"
This seems to be to do with Brexit - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/importin...1-january-2021 for more info.
I've interpreted this document as: if a company wants to import / export seeds & plants from the EU they will have to pay lots of money to get the necessary permits / paperwork, and the Government has not yet come up with a definitive list of products.
I'm not clear if private buyers can still purchase e.g. seeds from e.g. France via e.g. eBay, Amazon, etc.
Does anyone have more info, do we all have to stock up now ?
