Before I blow the budget for this month, does anyone know of an alternative (cheaper) source of this bramble than Ken Muir? It goes against the grain to pay that much for a bramble! £17.93 including delivery :o
we bought from Wilko - but they get them in for the spring - which means that they won't produce berries that year - though they have grown well - if you can wait a year then at about £3 you can't complain!
I've looked all round for fantasia, and haven't found it anywhere apart from Ken Muirs. I'll keep looking! :)
I know that Ken Muir's are expensive, but I've always been delighted with the quality of their plants. I'd hesitate to save a few quid, then invest a lot of time and effort, only for the result to be disappointing.
That makes sense M12. I might push the boat out and order. :)
If I plant a "domesticated Bramble" will it be cross pollinated by wild ones and diminish the quality of fruit? ???
No, what pollinates the flower won't affect the quality of the fruit, merely that of the seedlings.
Not seen 'Fantasia' anywhere else either sorry.
Im trying on called Chester from MR fothiergills, spine free and only £6.95 :)
