    Hi everyone,

    Am currently in the market to be buying a couple of fruit canes for my fruit garden and wondered if anyone could recommend a good red gooseberry bush I could grow. Something ideally with a high yield and tastes nice.

    hi Jane
    Just my two pennyworth I have had several fruit trees from Ashridge. plum, peach, apricot and they have been fantastic, my dwarf peach produced 30+ peaches and it is less than 3 feet high with the pot. really top class nursery
    regards alex

    Funnily enough I'm in the market for a peach and apricot tree...

    I've heard good things about ashridge trees but their postage seems a bit extortionate
