Save 15% on strawberry plants from Pomona Fruits including free p& p*
Pick your own strawberries in 60 days. Strawberry plants are easy to grow and all they require is a sunny, sheltered spot. Plants can be spaced 30cm apart in the open ground. Alternatively they can be grown in growbags (ten plants per bag) or containers.
Pomona Fruits’ hand-graded, ‘frozen’ (cold-stored) strawberry plants are guaranteed to be free from pests and diseases.
The advantage of frozen plants is that they produce fruit the first summer followed by bumper crops for the next two to three years. Provided they are planted outside by the end of July, they will be ready to crop just 60 days after planting.
