Bare Root Fruit Plants

How to choose the best bare root fruit plants for your garden

There’s nothing quite like the taste of homegrown fruit, fresh from the garden, and bare root fruit plants are a cost-effective way to enjoy healthy crops all summer long. For a consistent supply of fresh strawberries, try our ‘All Season Strawberry Collection’. Or for something a bit different, why not try the unusual white strawberry ‘Snow White’. Read our expert advice on growing bare root plants for growing tips and see our Frequently Asked Questions below.

Which bare root fruit plants crop earliest?

For the earliest crop of tasty fruit, grow Strawberry ‘Vibrant’ which crops from May through to June.

Which bare root fruit bushes can be grown in shade?

Most fruit plants prefer sun, but elderberry, Gooseberry ‘Hinnonmaki’ and our currant duo will tolerate part-shade.

Which bare root fruit plants can be grown in a container?

Strawberries make fabulous container plants and can even be grown in a hanging basket. For something different, try Strawberry ‘Skyline’, which grows upwards rather than out, making it ideal for pots.
