Fruit Plants

Bring flavour, colour, and life to your garden with our range of fruit plants, chosen for their performance and taste in UK conditions. Whether you're filling a border, planting up a patio pot, or starting a proper kitchen garden, these plants make it genuinely easy to enjoy homegrown sweetness from spring right through to autumn.

Our collection includes everything from classic strawberries and raspberries to grape vines—all chosen for strong growth, decent yields, and naturally delicious results in British conditions. Turn any outdoor space into something that actually produces food rather than just looking nice.

Varieties in Our Fruit Plant Collection

Our range covers berries, vines, and compact fruiting plants that all work well in UK gardens. Some need more space than others, but none of them demand expert-level skills.

  • Strawberries & Raspberries: Reliable early croppers that fill baskets with juicy fruit through summer. Perfect for patios or allotments. Kids love them because they're easy to pick and taste brilliant fresh.
  • Blueberries & Currants: Hardy bushes that actually thrive in cooler climates. They add colour and structure to garden beds whilst producing loads of fruit for jams or eating straight from the bush.
  • Grape Vines: Decorative and productive. Perfect for sunny patios, pergolas, or greenhouses. Sheltered spots give you proper grapes even in unpredictable UK summers.
  • Rhubarb Crowns: Low-maintenance perennials that return each spring with generous harvests. Plant once, then harvest for years. Nearly indestructible once established.

Each plant comes from trusted UK growers with healthy root systems that establish properly rather than struggling from day one.

Seasonal Highlights

Growing fruit plants gives you something to look forward to throughout the year, not just harvest time:

  • Spring: Buds and blossoms signal that fruiting season has started, filling the garden with colour and fragrance. This is when you know things are properly underway.
  • Summer: Peak harvest time for strawberries, raspberries, and early blueberries—perfect for fresh picking. There's something brilliant about eating fruit you've grown yourself rather than buying it wrapped in plastic.
  • Autumn: Late varieties, figs, and grapes ripen for rich, flavourful harvests. Rhubarb enters rest after a strong growing season. Good time to start planning next year's additions.
  • Winter: Many plants stay hardy, preparing quietly for another productive year ahead. Dormant period doesn't mean dead—they're just resting and building strength.

With consistent care, your fruit plants deliver flavour, texture, and garden beauty through every season without being difficult about it.

How to Care for Fruit Plants

Fruit plants are straightforward to look after and rewarding for gardeners at any level. Follow these basics and you'll get decent harvests:

  • Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot: Most fruit plants need sun for proper ripening. Sheltered positions protect delicate fruits from wind damage and help extend the growing season.
  • Water regularly: Especially during dry spells or if growing in containers. Container-grown plants dry out faster than those in the ground, so check them more often.
  • Mulch in spring: Retains moisture around roots and suppresses weeds without you needing to weed constantly. Well-rotted compost or bark chips work brilliantly.
  • Feed with fruit fertiliser: Encourages strong growth and abundant harvests. Early spring feeding gives plants the boost they need for the growing season ahead.
  • Prune annually after fruiting: Maintains shape and stimulates new growth for next year's crop. Different plants need different pruning approaches, so check specific requirements for what you're growing.

For best results, pair your plants with our garden compost and soil collection to boost nutrients and root health from the very start.
