Harvest
Blackberry 'Asterina' is a fantastic variety for home gardeners, producing very large, glossy berries with a rich blackberry aroma and a uniquely sweet flavour. Unlike many other blackberries, these fruits don’t turn sour even if picked a little early, making them ideal for families who love to snack as they pick.
The plants are completely thornless, making harvesting hassle-free and child-friendly. Vigorous but well-behaved, 'Asterina' produces heavy crops in mid to late summer, and thrives in most sunny or part-shaded spots. A great low-maintenance option for gardens, allotments, or even large containers.
Guide To Plant Sizes
Bare Root Plants: Several of our plants come supplied as bare roots. Despite appearances, they are alive and well. They have been previously grown in the ground and lifted when dormant throughout the winter months, so that when you receive them, they are strong, full of energy and ready to be planted out. This is our most economical way to buy many plant varieties including roses, strawberries, trees and bushes.
Seedlings: Seedlings are young plants that have grown from seeds and are still small, usually with just a few leaves. They are in the early stages of growth and are ready to be potted on or planted outdoors to continue developing.
Plug Plants: A wide range of our varieties come in plug size, including Strawberries, Tomatoes, Chillis, Peppers, Cucumbers and Courgettes. Grown in individual cells with a bio-degradable membrane that will break down in the soil, no need to remove before planting. Pot and grow on to form larger plants that can be planted later in the season. Protect from frost if necessary.
9cm Plants: Our 9cm plants are larger and much more established than our plug ranges, meaning they are ready to plant out straight away. These will establish quickly and produce flower and fruit much quicker than smaller plugs. Protect from frost if required.
1L+ Plants: A substantial plant with many already developed flowers or even early onset of fruit if the season has been early. Great for filling in gaps or plating into patio containers.
Grafted Plants: Grafted plants are created by joining together two different plant varieties, typically by attaching the stem of one onto the root system of another. This process allows for desirable traits, such as disease resistance or better fruit production, to be combined into a single plant.
