Very impressed with the cherry trees recieved in perfect condition.planted as per instructions.I would like advice, as now I have got them I am told I will never have cherries as the birds always get there first.As the trees max height is 8ft is there some way I can protect them and when is it the beast time to offer this protection.

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.

These white sweet potatoes have a thin, off white skin with a lovely white flesh. These plants produce the size and shape that you would expect from a sweet potato (just maybe a different colour!) in good yields and have an almost nutty, honey flavour to them. They tend to be slightly drier than other varieties. The green, heart-shaped leaves make them quite a picture as they grow.
This variety of sweet potato is rich in Vitamin A, E, C and B6 along with potassium. Can be extra delicious in pies and candied but similarly tasty mashed, roasted or made into chips.
This variety was bred from Beauregard in the late 1990s.
We highly recommend growing these under protection (so in a greenhouse, polytunnel or similar).
- Required frost protection.
- Like a sunny position.
- Time to harvest approximately 100 days.
- Plant 12 - 18" (30 - 45 cm) apart.
