Fruit bush reccomendations ...

[Babru]

Another one that's more an actual bush, that I have been very happy with, is the strawberry guava. Started fruiting at 2 years old, quite good cropping for its size. Delicious fruits, deals with winter here fine, no protection.
Pineapple guavas are another one I've got, but no opinion yet as they're still too small, also it seems they only fruit in hot years

Not heard of the strawberry guava, graffiti, but when I looked it up it seems only to be half hardy ie being sold as a conservatory plant in the UK.

Maybe it varies depending on where in the UK and how sheltered it is? Admittedly mine aren't at the allotment but they stay outside all year no matter the weather. I still can't upload photos but will try to post a link to an image of one of them today

Where are you in the UK grafitti? The revised website is a pain, you used to be able to show your location under your name. After all, geography can be all-important to growing success.

You can still add location to your profile but others need to click on your name and it comes up.

If I click on Brabu’s name up comes up the location of....Edinburgh seaside
Can non-mods do that too? I presume they can???

For me , I decided to add it to my signature so it’s always on display!

Shot in the dark ... I don't suppose any of you lot happen to have a Himalayan Giant Blackberry in your garden do you? If so would you mind doing a tip layer for little me

It's a rampant thorny blighter ideal for my lotty fence to stop 2 legged foxes and more attractive than razor wire


I've found 2 online suppliers 1 is out of stock and Chris Bowers seems to have their website turned off for orders

Sorry, no thorny bramble to share....but if I remember correctly, the Chris Bowers site has had a very poor write up from other grapes. Maybe a lucky escape.

I would put a Loganberry or two on your fences and either a patio quince or guava in the spot. You might need to fleece the guava in the winter.
