Hi all

I have decided to lay some fruit bushes or trees what ever any one thinks is better for a rookie, and place them one end of my patch, one is to use as a wind break from a open field but to reap the rewards of fruit, anything except gooseberrys please lol.

hope this makes sense apolagise if not
regards
steve

I haven't got any fruit bushes steve, so will be a newbie to them in November too.
Gonna try jostaberries - if you do a search, some peeps rave about them. Big bushes!

If you like tree fruit put in a couple, but choose your varieties carefully, and think about what rootstock you want them on.
