Thank you very much for the Orange tree complete with flowers and baby oranges. You truly are a Victorian nursery I used to pack all the trees I sent out by rail using straw bundles similar to yours. Actually we used long straw and no outer polythene.We also used twine macramed on the outside to hold the bundle together. There is nothing wrong with your packing. It remided me of the old days. I am 78. Now I have to find a suitable container whivh no doubt will be expensive. Versailles sell them and a pottery in the south of France makes the other tradional type. I was a bit surprised when I visited Kew Gardens, that they did not have one single orange tree in their orangerie. Lovely web site and lovely young orange tree in perfect order.

This delicious orange variety of sweet potato is well worth growing, but given the UK climate is always best grown under protection or in a particularly sheltered and sunny spot. High yielding variety that stores well, the sweet potatoes tend to be long and of a good size with a reddish purple skin and deep orange flesh and full of Vitamin C.
Orginates from the Louisiana State University in 1987 by Larry Rolston. Apparently it saved the Louisiana sweet potato market when it was developed because of it' high yield and disease resistance, making it a very popular variety!
In order to get the maximum yield it is suggested to plant them into the open ground, but we have successfully grown these here at the nursery in large tubs so that they can be kept indoors and in a warmer environment.
Delicious boiled, mashed, roasted or as chips.
- Grow under protection (greenhouse, poly tunnel or similar) for best results.
- Like a sunny position.
- Need well drained soil.
- Plant 12 - 18" (30 cm - 45 cm) apart.
- Take 90-120 days to harvest (when leaves start to turn yellow or just before first outdoor frosts).
