Our Feedback
I find your website useful and easy to us. I also enjoy your changing ads. in papers and mags. On Saturday at the Garden Organic AGM Professor Ian Lang, talking about Food Security urged us all to grow more fruit. He pointed out that in Britain we produce a mere 5% of the fruit we eat, and we should consume 9 a day not just 5 a day fruit and veg.
Last November I planted your Polka raspberries. They are now strong tall vigorous canes, tallest I have ever grown and producing throughout the summer. I'll need steps to pick the late ones!!
My first purchase from you was before the web, shrub roses for my allotment for the vit. C. Enjoyed your family history.

This fairly new introduction from East Malling Research Station is, in our opinion, probably the best early season variety there is!
The attractive conical fruits have a wonderful flavour and a firm texture - which helps to increase keeping qualities (they also freeze well too). Malling Minerva has a relatively compact habit. Cropping starts late June and carries through to the end of July - highest yields being mid July.
Disease resistance is excellent.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
- Floricane - produces fruit on second year wood.
- Plant 18" - 24" (45 - 60 cm) apart.
- Reach 5 feet (1.5 metre) tall.
- Self Fertile.
This plant is protected by the Plant Variety Rights. Illegal propagation without a licence will lead to prosecution.
