Description
- “Madeleine of Two Seasons”, as the name suggests, produces two crops per season during hot UK summers
- Dating back to Versailles in the reign of Louis IV
- Particularly hardy and prized for its abundant fruiting
- These fruits are delicious eaten freshly picked with an exceptionally sweet flavour
- Can be grown outside throughout the UK with great success
- Features large foliage of deeply lobed deep green leaves
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- 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
