Description

Tummelberry 3 Litre Pot

The Tummelberry is a relatively new hybrid berry bred by JHI (formely SCRI) and whose name derives from a river in northern Perthshire. It produces vigorous, robust, thorny shoots that are initially erect but then become semi-erect or prostrate as growth proceeds. The very attractive large fruits are similar to that of a Tayberry, deep red in colour turning to purple/red when over-ripe. they have an instense and distinctive flavour, and as with other hybrids are versatile in their use. The berries freeze very well, retaining their shape when thawed.
