Here on the nursery we have found hanging old cd's in the tree the most effective method of control; these must be in place from approximately mid March until after the fruit has been harvested.

Perennial Herb Plants
Perennial herb plants will provide years of fresh pickings for your kitchen, and drinks cabinet too! The great added bonus of many of the perennial herbs we sell is the fact that they may also flower, providing nectar for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects as well as being a stunning addition to any ornamental garden planting scheme. Most perennial herbs will prefer a sunny position on free-draining soil. Once established some varieties may benefit from a rudimentary prune each year.
