'Blue Velvet' Honeyberry Bush

'Blue Velvet' Honeyberry BushIf you're looking for some new fruit to grow, then may we kindly point you in the direction of the 'Blue Velvet' honeyberry bush! Boasting delightful, trumpet shaped white flowers and lush green foliage, this shrubby bush would be a lovely plant even without the berries but when you throw in the fruits on top of that? Wowzer The elongated, cylindrical blue berries are ready to harvest at the beginning of summer and have a wonderful sweet taste,

star-shaped flowers and strap-shaped basal foliage

A versatile plant

then why not make an American-style cobbler or dry them for a tasty snack

and 'Red Gold' nectarines are up there with the very best

The 40cm supersoft ties flex and allow your tree to move

deep pinkish plum blooms

these trees are perfect for container growing on patios

What’s more

you can harvest your crabapples (if you get to them before the birds) and use them to make a delicious crabapple jelly

I think we can all agree it looks pretty darn splendid
