Monty's favourite fruit.


Raspberry 'Malling Jewel'

An early-fruiting raspberry that crops from the beginning of July, this variety bears firm, luscious, dark-red berries in small clusters. It also has good tolerance to virus infections.

Five to try

  • 'Glen Moy' - spine free canes, heavy crops in early summer
  • 'Glen Prosen' - firm fruit in mid-summer
  • 'Allgold' - yellow fruit in autumn
  • 'Malling Admiral' - conical, dark red fruit in late mid-summer
  • 'Autumn Bliss' - large red fruit in autumn

Strawberry 'Mara des Bois'

A cross between modern and wild strawberries, it has the advantage of fruiting from July to October, rather than just June and July. Berries are small, but tasty.
