Deciduous Trees and Shrubs

Jelly Bean® Brazelberry is a dwarf blueberry ideal for the courtyard for ease of harvesting. Forming a nice, compact mound, Jelly Bean displays white, bell-shaped flowers that mature into large, flavourful blueberries that taste like sweet homemade blueberry jam. The foliage has unique, elongated green leaves with highlights of red in cooler climates and turns yellow and red in autumn before falling. Try a mini-hedge along a pathway, plant en masse in the landscape or in decorative patio containers. Prune annually, removing dead or non-fruiting wood to promote dense growth and berry production.

Producing an excellent crop of full-sized fruit, Dwarf Ruby Blood Plum delivers medium to large rounded blood plums with dark red skin and deep red, sweet juicy flesh. A freestone variety, the delicious fruit is suitable for use fresh, dried and will make a lovely jam.

Grafted onto dwarfing rootstock, our Dwarf Plums will grow in a much smaller space, making them ideal for patio tubs. Like all produce plants, correct pruning, regular fertilising and watering will result in an abundance of fruit.

Soil: Well-fertilised, well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1.5-2m x width 1.5-2m
