This easy-to-grow deciduous shrub is self-fertile and tolerates a wide range of soils, as long as they are not overly heavy or wet. Purple and white flowers are produced in summer, closely followed by shiny red berries until the first frost, which can be eaten as they are, or dried for eating at a later date. If left un-pruned, they can reach up to 3m in height, but they perform better if they are pruned on a regular basis and kept as a small bush.
Excellent source of vitamin C and Iron, often hailed as a super-food.
Buying Fruit Trees/Bushes from Jacksons Nurseries
Our trees might be Freshly Potted and the root system may not be fully established, and loose soil may occur when unpacking.
Unlike many garden centres, supermarkets and some nurseries here at Jacksons Nurseries we sell the majority of our stock all year round. Our stock is for the most part grown outdoors making it far hardier than those grown under glass and/or only sold ‘In Season’.
Here at Jacksons Nurseries we would favour a hardy outdoor grown plant every time. They are far less likely to suffer from the shock of being planted in colder conditions and they will begin to establish more rapidly the following spring. This can mean that they don’t look like a ‘picture perfect’ plant when purchased out of season but with the correct care and a little time you’ll have a wonderful plant to enjoy for many years to come.
