Augusta effectively bridges the fruiting gap between Leo and Autumn Bliss, cropping very late in the summer season to provide fruits for August desserts. The fruits are dark red, round, medium to large and suitable for all purposes. Easy to pick as the fruits are firm and dry and do not squash in damp weather. You will find the excellent flavour very refreshing. Augusta has given exceptionally heavy crops in trials and even outcropped Glen Moy in a four year ministry trial in Scotland with more fruit produced per individual cane. Cane growth is quite vigorous and not overcrowded. Resistant to Amphophora Idaea the main vector virus.







We have in place very rigorous standards for the health,
providence and uniformity of all our fruiting plants & trees. Our Nursery and the stock we grow is
inspected and passported for health regularly by DEFRA experts [formerly the Ministry of Agriculture]
and we have in place our own stringent controls and inspection programmes to ensure our fruiting
bushes and trees are the best, most disease free stocks available and truly beyond compare.
We always propagate from certified stock where this exists and have the highest standards regarding providence
and grading. If only the very best will do – as it should – then you can rely on a Chris Bowers fruiting
plant to give the most exemplary results available. We firmly believe that only the very healthiest
stock can and does produce vastly superior results – and it shows.
