Italian Melons, Strawberry, Rhubarb and new for 2006, Italian fig and grape varieties, suitable for growing in the UK. We are so used to seeing Turkish brown figs and German grapes in the UK, but the varieties below have been chosen for ease of growth and flavour, but are also classic Italian varieties. The figs and grapes are at least a year old with 8 months growing in the 2 litre pots and they come from Raggi Vivai nurseries in Emilia Romagna. Figs are very rustic and need no interventions, except removing dead or diseased branches - thats it. UK only.
