It is precocious, heavy yielding and full of distinctive Mulberry flavour. The fruits are just great for simmering and serving with vanilla ice cream, they also make a jam packed with taste, can be made into pies and also freeze very well. The large, handsome and deeply lobed foliage turns deep…

Malling Opal Strawberry Plants
£9.95 – £18.95Malling Opal has quickly established itself as one of the very best everbearing/perpetual strawberries.

Malling Opal has cropped very well in containers; it has been suggested that such plants brought into a mildly heated greenhouse or conservatory, would still be cropping at Christmas. The berries of this high quality variety are large and sweet and also relatively soft – a trait that has endeared it already…
