Hi, I bought an electric fence from you about 2 years ago and I have been meaning to contact you in praise of it. The electric fence is, without doubt, the best thing I've ever bought for my pond. It is extremely easy to install and since doing so I have not lost a single fish to a heron! I just want to say thankyou for such a brilliant product!

Description

Dating from 1892, Royal Sovereign was probably the pinnacle of Thomas Laxton's strawberry breeding career, so much so he could be considered the 'father' of the modern strawberry. It was an extremely popular variety between 1920 and 1960 and even served at Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation banquet. The fact that it is still sought after is a testament to its versatility.

Although the plants are not as large as modern varieties, the yield a little smaller and its shelf life not as long as some, its superb flavour makes up for all this, and when you're growing your own the taste is the most important factor. This truly is a fantastic strawberry with a wonderful traditional flavour.

The fruits have a high juice content and are very sweet.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

  • Self-fertile.
  • Ideal for growing either in pots or the open ground.
  • Fruits mid Summer.
