Description
- Masses of white blossom in spring followed by lots of rounded, blue-black sloes which are perfect for making sloe gin and jellies
- Much more manageable and prolific than the wild version
- Crops from October
- Self fertile and easy to grow
- Beneficial to pollinating insects and other wildlife
- Low maintenance – requires only light pruning and no feeding
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
