Raspberries
...and any other fruit bushes I missed

Grape Vine cuttings - ripe wood

Citrus bushes

I am also after seeds from any plants that you think could attract more bees... seed swap for these.

Hi si, you would be welcome to dig up a hop plant here in Peterborough if you're near :)

id love the gooseberry but only have an influx on levanteria flower seeds, really well flowered plants bring in loads of bees, have pink and white varieties.

would that be ok?

I have grape vine - tell me how to cut it and I'll do it at the weekend for you!

Hi Ruffmeister, I have just planted a Lavatera but thank you for the offer :) I am hoping to swap my fruit bushes for other fruits because I only have a few, but will send one off to you if there are any left, or at worst next summer when/if the new ones have grown.   

Thanks also OliveOil, you have pm.

Still working at a way to get to Peterborough? ~ I'm in Buckingham.

Keep at it si, pm me when you can make it :)

Hi, I have some Passiflora edulis (purple fruited one, self-fertile) seedlings. They are small but will overwinter indoors and grow quickly next year. Are you interested?  :)

Hi Tora, I am very interested :) how can I email/contact you? - your pm is full.

Sorry, Si! I've just deleted old messages so you should be able to send me pms.  8)

Am interested in either strawberry, gooseberry or black currant... :)

Hi Si,
I have  blackcurrant Ben Connan, would you be interested to swap it for Ben Sarek, may be in spring? I'll make a cutting and pot it up to root meanwhile.
Does it taste ok or a bit sour? Ben Connan is a bit sour I'm affraid.

Hi Natasha,

I would love to swap a Ben Connan for a Ben Sarek next spring. 
Ben Sarek is rather compact, growing between 3 and 4 ft and I find it good for growing in-font of taller currants/raspberries. The flavour is sweet and mulled with good fruitiness. Did you know that Ben Sarek is one of the parents of Ben Connan; it was crossed with Ben Lomond.
I'll pm you closer to the time... Can't wait  :)
