Actinidia deliciosa 'Jenny' is capable of producing fruit if grown in a warm sunny location such as a south or west facing wall, but very often it is grown more for its beautiful large furry, heart-shaped leaves. If fruit is what you are after than some care will have to be taken in the training and pruning of this plant. Plant in full-sun in rich well-drained soil and water well during any dry spells.  2L container.

Plant it as an understorey in a woodland or in a hedgerow, in full sun or in shade, in fertile, free-draining soil. It prefers alkaline soil, so not suitable for peaty or boggy areas. 2-3 L container.

Loquats are small, evergreen trees or large shrubs, whose large leaves lend a tropical air to any garden - much prized in this country for their 'architectural' qualities. If planted in a warm, sheltered spot (such as against a south facing wall), they produce powerfully exotic scented flowers in autumn and edible fruits in April or May, with succulent, tangy flesh which is varies between sweet to mildly acid, depending on ripeness. These fruits are popular throughout southern Europe and many parts of West Coast America and Asia. They like to be near to the sea, but require a warm sheltered spot if you want fruit - which may only happen after a warmer, drier summer. 2.5 - 3 litre container. Larger sizes up to 2 metres available on request

Eating figs ripe from the plant are one of life's great pleasures and Ficus 'Brown Turkey' is the best choice for experiencing that pleasure here in Ireland. The fruits ripen in late August and are best picked once they begin to droop on the stalk. They should be grown in a sheltered spot in full sun. Training them against a south facing wall in a fan-like arrangement works very well. Figs should always have their roots constricted in order to encourage better fruiting. 3L container.
