Overview

A tayberry of Scottish origin, 'Medana' has reddish-purple fruits, sumptuous as a compote or puree enjoyed with yoghurt, ice cream or for a fruity twist, added to your muesli. The fruits freeze well so you can enjoy these tayberries well into the winter. Flowering in spring, this berry is great for bees and other beneficial insects, although this fruit is self-pollinating so will form fruit without them.

Care guide

Plant this tayberry as soon as conditions allow and when soil is not frozen or waterlogged. They prefer well-drained soils but we advise keeping the plants well-watered during the first year to help establishment. Tayberries grow best when supported on wires or against a sunny wall at a of approximately 2.5m apart. 'Medana' is a primocane variety that flowers and fruits on the growth made that year. Canes can be cut down to the ground once fruiting has ended. In spring apply a general fertiliser and a mulch of rotted leaves or compost covering the root area.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
