THE BACK GARDEN FARMER CATALOGUE2011 Season
Hello! We are Alan & Claire and we are thrilled youve got a copy of our firstcatalogue in your hands. Let us tell you a bit about our micro business . . .
It is based from our back garden thus the name and also out of a belief that weall need to be producing some level of food to supplement our shopping fromwhatever bit of land or pots we may have. We are entering a time of change.Here in the UK we have lost a lot of the skills to feed ourselves, s o its time for
all of us to take small steps to produce some food that will blow your socks off when it comes to flavour and nutrient content. It will also show you howsimple, cost effective and enjoyable food production can be. We would like tohelp you be your own back garden farmer .
Once youve been successful you will not want to go back. So we thought wewould start you off with a few fruit trees, bushes and perennial fruits. This willsoon be followed by a broad range of herbs and vegetables including our
speciality chillies (keep a watch out for them). We aim to produce many plantsourselves or purchase in bulk from local growers plants that are ready for thegarden. Our prices are very competitive due to our low overheads and a firmbelief in doing things locally and sustainably no mass market production forus as we keep our carbon foot print small and build our communities. In oureyes small is definitely beautiful, so please support us and buy your plants fromus.
Ultimately, we want to develop a community of Urban back garden Farmerswho can help, inspire and co-operate with each other to change the way weview food and farming in this country . . . you never know, we may just cause arevolution!

APPLES (MALUS)
1. Braeburn
MA1m (1 yr maiden 3-4ft) 13.50MA1b (2 yr bush 4-5ft) 15.00
Rootstock MM106.
A well known & best selling varietydue to its great flavour, versatilityand ability to store well. Can beused for eating (mainly) andcooking.
CultivationApple trees prefer full sun, althoughthey will tolerate some shade. Pick aposition that will not become water-logged, and that is not in a frost
pocket (a low lying area where coldair gathers and settles).
Apple trees are tolerant of most soilconditions extremes of acid oralkaline soil will need to becorrected before planting. Perfectconditions are a crumbly soil withmedium fertility and slightly on theacid side.
Planting is simple - in basic terms,dig a hole large enough to easilytake the roots, place the tree in the
hole and cover the roots with soil upto the surrounding ground level.Simple enough , but dont add anyfertiliser to the soil at this time - itmay burn the roots and it will only
encourage tree growth at theexpense of fruit growth. Also, plantthe tree to the same depth as it wasin the pot (or the soil mark on thetrunk in the case of bare rootedtrees).
Harvesting
Best picked during October, yourfruit will store very well in coolconditions, usually into the NewYear. This apple tastes a bit betterafter a week or so off the tree. Youcan store Braeburn for 4 monthswithout losing its crispness.
2. Coxs
Orange Pippin
MA2m (1 yr maiden 3-4ft) 13.50 MA2b (2 yr bush 4-5ft) 15.00
Rootstock MM106.

The most famous and voted bymany as the best flavoured of all ourdesert apples. If youve never triedone of these fresh (not thesupermarket ones!) then you need
to. It is the essential English apple. Itis sweet, nutty and fragrant with justthe right amount of acid.
CultivationAs well as great flavour this littlevariety has scooped the best lookingapple too . so what are its bad
points? Well, there is one - Coxs isan old variety (1825) and is not asdisease resistant as other trees if dumped in the corner of the gardenand not cared for. As such the treeneeds to be given a good soil mixwhen planted and then kept an eyeon, so if a bit of disease (mildew
mainly) starts to show then you can& should quickly treat it.
If you want fantastic flavour andbeautiful fruit this tree wants a little
bit more of your attention. Dont bescared off but do be vigilant. Thetree is of a medium vigour andrequires good pruning each year toget a big harvest.
HarvestingApples are produced in Novemberand can be stored until January.
3. Discovery
MA3m (1 yr maiden 3-4ft) 13.50 MA3b (2 yr bush 4-5ft) 15.00
Rootstock MM106.
The earliest of all fruiting apples inthe UK, you will have fruit ready toeat in August. Sharp, juicy and avery crisp apple, Discovery isexcellent for instant eating and apple
juice production. The tree is
renowned for its resistance todisease. Slower growing than othersit will not dominate your garden.
CultivationThis tree requires a pollinationpartner (group 3) - Coxs OrangePippin / Egremont Russet / Braeburn
are the ones we sell.
HarvestingAugust to September, the apple willonly last about 1 week when off thetree so pick and eat immediately asand when required or turn it into lotsof fresh apple juice and store.

4. Egremont Russet
MA4m (1 yr maiden 3-4ft) 13.50MA4b (2 yr bush 4-5ft) 15.00
Rootstock MM106.
This is the best of all Russet applesand its an oldie, first grown in 1872(England). It is a traditional dessertapple with white/yellow flesh, a drynot a sweet apple with a definitenutty taste. This tree is a heavy
cropper of medium sized fruit.
CultivationThis tree requires a group 3pollination partner - Coxs OrangePippin / Discovery / Braeburn willall do the job. Not an overlyvigorous tree so it will not dominate
your garden.HarvestingApples will be ready in October andstore well until around December.
5. Bramley Seedling
MA5m (1 yr maiden 3-4ft) 13.50 MA5b (2 yr bush 4-5ft) 15.00
Rootstock M26.
The best known and most lovedcooking apple in England, anotheroldie. As a cultivar it is 200 yearsold and the original tree still fruitstoday in a back garden inNottingham. Needless to say theBramley is a very strong growing
tree with large heavily croppingfruits. The apples are sharp, acidicand very juicy so are excellent forcooking. The white flesh becomes afluffy pure when cooked.
CultivationIt produces fruit on the tip and spurs
so needs to be pruned differently toa normal spur cropping tree. Thistree requires a pollination partnersuch as Jongold / Jupiter / BlenheimOrange.
HarvestingApples will be ready October andstore extremely well, right throughto March.

6. Howgate Wonder
MA6m (1 yr maiden 3-4ft) 13.50
Rootstock M26.
Now this is a very local cultivar tome first produced on the Isle of Wight in 1915. It produces thelargest of all apple fruits and is agood cropper. This cooking applehas the added advantage of keepingits shape as it cooks so if you likeapple tarts this is the one for you. Itcan also be used as an acidic dessertapple if you like your apples thatway (and I do).
CultivationThis tree requires a pollinationpartner and is in group 4 - Coxs
Orange Pippin / Discovery / Braeburn/ Egremont Russet will alldo the job.
HarvestingLike the Bramley, these apples willbe ready to pick October and willstore well right through till March.
BLACKCURRANTS (RIBES)
1. Ben Connan
RI1br (2 yr bare root) 4.50
The blackcurrant that really has it all- exceptionally large berries, superbrich flavour, good mildew resistanceand very frost tolerant - an excellentchoice.
CultivationThe best time to plant blackcurrantbushes is early winter, midNovember time is good. They canhowever be planted any time up tomid March as long as the soil is notwater-logged or frozen. The plantsshould be spaced about 1.8m (6ft)apart. Dig a hole wide enough totake the roots without crampingthem. The depth of planting is quiteimportant with blackcurrants. Thebushes naturally produce a largenumber of stems from just belowground level (unlike red and whitecurrants). To encourage this growth,plant the bushes roughly 5cm (2in)deeper than they were in the pot orat the nursery if bare rooted. Fillaround the roots with soil and firm itdown with your foot.

HarvestingCrops mid July, producing up to 8lbof fruit per established bush.
2. Ben Lomond
RI2br (2 yr bare root) 4.50
For those who live in colder areasand frost pockets, this is theblackcurrant that will deliverreliably high yields year in year out.Resistant to most foliar diseases and
also to mildew, this variety grows toaround 1 metre (3 foot) high andproduces large fruit. Superb taste,the best in my humble opinion.
HarvestingCropping from late July or earlyAugust onwards.
3. Titania
RI3br (2 yr bare root) 4.50
The individual berries of Titania arevery large and handsome with a high
juice content and plenty of flavour.
They ripen very evenly on the stringand keep well in perfect conditionfor some time on the bush. Theberries excel for juicing as well aspies, preserves, freezing and allother purposes.
Cultivation
A tallish bush that needs a protectedposition, this blackcurrant has gooddisease resistance, includingpowdery mildew and rust.
HarvestingRipening from early July, they arefrequently still in crop by early
August, giving Titania a very longseason.
BLUEBERRIES (VACCINIUM)
1. Bluejay
VA1P9 (1 yr P9 - 0.4m) 4.50
-
8/7/2019 Back Garden Farmer Catalogue
8/20

Bluejay is a mid-season, fast-growing, reliable variety that hassuperb autumn colour. It producesmoderate yields of medium largeberries, and has a good, slightly tart
flavour.
CultivationBlueberries require light, free-draining acidic soils, with plenty of rich, organic matter if they're tothrive. The soil should have a lowerpH of between 4 and 5.5, similar to
the requirements of rhododendronsand camellias. It's possible to lowerthe pH levels of your soil withsulphur chips or dust. Monitor thesoil's pH every few years, because itmay be necessary to add acid. If youdon't have suitable soil, simply growblueberries in a pot containing
ericaceous compost, giving theplants a high potash feed (such astomato feed) occasionally during thegrowing season.
Plant two different varieties of blueberries to ensure cross-pollination. A single blueberry plantwill produce fruit, but the yields willbe higher and the fruits bigger if more than one variety is grown.They require a position in full sun orlight shade.
Plant blueberries in autumn orwinter leaving about 1.5m (5ft) gapsbetween them and mulch with alayer of acidic peat, wood chippingsor pine needles. Water in well usingrainwater rather than tap water if
possible - tap water contains limewhich renders the soil less acidicover time.
Harvesting
Blueberries start ripening late Julythrough August.
2. Duke
VA2P9 (1 yr P9 - 0.5m) 4.50
Late spring flowers that are rarelyaffected by frosts are followed by anearly crop of light blue berries thathave a firm flesh and a mildly sweetflavour. Each mature bush has ahigh yield of long-lasting fruits,making it one of the most productiveand consistent cultivars, often
yielding over 20 lbs per bush whenmature. Duke bushes are uprightgrowers but the branches will droopto the ground when laden with fruit.The foliage turns yellow-orange inthe autumn.
Harvesting
Light blue berries are produced Junethrough July.

FIG (FICUS)
Brown Turkey
FI (1 yr P9) 4.50 (Available from April 2011)
A reliable performer, Brown Turkeyis especially suited to Britishconditions and is capable of producing a heavy crop of largefruits in most situations (includingon patios) especially if trainedagainst a warm wall. The tree willalso create a lifelong architecturalfeature in your garden.
CultivationBrown Turkey will reward you if you contain the extreme vigour of the tree so I recommend restrictingthe roots by planting in a large
container or constructing a plantinghole lined by broken slabs.
The perfect fruit to grow incontainers on your patio if you dontwant to plant it too near your housefoundations. It will consistentlyproduce large volumes of tasty fruit.
HarvestingFruits ripen August to September.
GOOSEBERRIES (RIBES)
1. Invicta
GO1br (1 yr bare root) 3.00
A very compact plant which isideally suited to growing as astandard in or out of a container,Invicta is a heavy cropper, withlarge pale green berries that make anexcellent choice for cooking,
freezing or for jam making.
CultivationAn ideal fruit for the small garden,gooseberry bushes are easy to grow,produce a large amount of fruit fortheir size and will tolerate partialshade conditions.
They are self-fertile, so one bush canbe grown on its own. Gooseberrybushes are also well able towithstand harsher conditions (bothtemperature and wind) than manyother fruits, although in an idealsetting they prefer full sun in cooler
areas. The lower temperatures allowthe fruit to mature slowly rather than

being 'cooked' into maturity by awarm sun.
Gooseberries are not so tolerant of bad soil conditions - they need a
medium weight soil which is well-drained but not dry. They needmoisture in the soil if the fruits areto develop fully. They do not requirea very fertile soil, in fact too fertileand the plant produces too muchweak green growth at the expense of good fruit.
HarvestingReady for picking from late Mayonwards.
2. Hinnonmaki Red
GO2br (1 yr bare root) 3.00
A mid-season, very hardy variety.Produces a heavy crop of mediumsized, dark red fruit on a semi-upright bush. Flavour of the fruit isexcellent - the skin of the fruit istangy, the inside is sweet.
HarvestingRipens mid July.
3. Whinhams Industry
GO3br (1 yr bare root) 3.00
A red-fruited variety which is alsosuited to the small garden andcontainer growing. A fantastic desertgooseberry, with medium-large fruit,dark red skin colour and excellentflavour. The plants have an upright,bushy habit. Does well in partialshade and will even fruit well whenplanted under a tree. Great for anorth facing-wall.

One of the most well known andpopular of plum trees, Victoriaproduces pale red fruit as shown in
the picture above. The fruit is ripefor eating around mid-August. Aversatile plum, fruit can be eatenstraight from the tree, used in arange of desert dishes and jammaking.
Cultivation & Harvesting
It produces a heavy crop whichoften needs to be thinned if fruits areto be produced each year. Left to itsown devices the sheer weight of fruit may well break the branchesoff the tree so you should thin outthe fruits once they are well set.Ready to pick mid August to
September.
2. Blue Tit
PR2m (1 yr maiden 3-4ft) 13.50
Rootstock SJA.

It produces a reliable crop mostyears and is consistently self-fertile.Blue Tit will pollinate other nearbyplum trees and is in the group 2pollination category.
HarvestingBlue Tit crops regularly in largeamounts during August.
RASPBERRIES (RUBUS)
1. Glen Moy
RU1br (1 yr bare root) 1.20
Glen Moy was bred in the UK and isa heavy cropping compact variety,producing medium to large sizedberries which are well flavoured andsuitable for all purposes. The canes
are spine free and in southerncounties of England bear a smallautumn crop on the young canes in
October prior to producing theirmain crop the following summer.Resistant to greenfly colonisation.
Cultivation
Prepare well draining soil wellbefore planting. Remove all weedsand dig in plenty of well-rottedmanure in to the area. Plant canes8cm (3in) deep, at 45cm (18in)intervals, carefully spreading out theroots and backfilling with soil.Subsequent rows should be 1.8m
apart. Once planted, shorten thecanes to about 23cm (9in). Eachspring, mulch well with well-rottedmanure.
HarvestingWe believe this to be the best earlyfruiting raspberry available,
producing an abundance of sweet juicy fruits from spine-free canes tomake harvesting a pleasurableexperience from mid June untilalmost the end of July.
2. Glen Ample
RU2br (1 yr bare root) 1.20
If you only have room for onesummer raspberry this is the one to

choose. Glen Ample produces largefleshy fruits of about 4-5g which areround conical in shape, attractiveand with an excellent flavour. Itsexceptionally high yield of firm,
quality fruit is why this cultivar isthe most widely planted.
Spine free, very upright canes areproduced in abundance. Glen Amplehas some tolerance to root rot.
Harvesting
Cropping starts early July andcarries through to mid August -highest yields being at the end of July.
3. Autumn Bliss
RU3br (1 yr bare root) 4.50
The Autumn Bliss raspberry cane isshort, sturdy and spiny. It needslittle support, so it is generally notnecessary to grow it on horizontalwires unless your soft fruit garden isin a particularly windy spot.
Raspberries are classified as early,mid-season, late and autumn fruiting(like Autumn Bliss) depending onwhen the bulk of their crop is readyfor picking.
HarvestingAutumn Bliss raspberry canes carrythe latest fruit of them all, croppingslowly in August, then picking upthe pace in September. Following
Indian summers, raspberries can stillbe picked in the first week of October.
RHUBARB (RHUEM)
Note: At despatch time plants will
be partially dormant and some mayhave very little foliage. Onceplanted they will establish good rootsystems and be ready to grow awayvigorously in spring.

do this using your feet. Water wellafter planting and keep moist untilgrowth begins.
Harvesting
Now heres advice you may not like.It is best to let your new plant growfor a year before cr opping it Itssuch a temptation to cut and eat butit will pay dividends the followingyears when you get a bigger crop. Isuppose a few stems for a taste inthe first year is not too much of a
crime, but remember not to take toomany stems (I dont ta ke more thanhalf) from your plant as this willweaken it. Stop cropping altogetherafter July with this one.
2. Timperley Early

DEFINITIONS
Rootstock
Most fruit trees these days are grown on a rootstock. Essentially you are buying twoseparate plants that have been joined (grafted) together - the above ground bit, i.e.trunk, branches, leaves - and the root (rootstock). There are a range of rootstockswhich differ in their vigour so you can buy the same named tree with differentrootstocks - one could be 1m high and the other could be up to 4m.
Rootstock M26: Bramley, Howgate Wonder
A good choice of rootstock for a small garden, more vigorous than M9, it willwithstand moderate competition from weeds and grass and will grow successfully
in soils with fertility on the low side.
M26 rootstock trees do not produce a strong root system and they should thereforebe supported by a stake during their lives.
It is ideal for the amateur gardener who wants to grow a small bush tree or cordonand espalier shaped trees. Its size can be controlled to a large degree by pruningtwice a year, with no specialist knowledge required.
Rootstock MM106: All other apples.
A good choice for small to large gardens. This rootstock will produce an apple treeabout 3.6m (12 ft) wide and 3m (10 ft) tall at maturity.
Apple trees on MM106 rootstock can easily be pruned to keep them to a height of around 2-2.5m (6-8ft) high. They have the added benefit over M26 rootstock in that
they will not require staking after a couple of years.
The roots are reasonably vigorous and an MM106 rootstock apple tree can easilysupport itself without the need for staking. It will produce about 23 kilo (50lb) fruitin a normal season.
The tree will not grow too large, so that the average mobile person will find it easyto prune.
Rootstock QA: Conference Pear
-
8/7/2019 Back Garden Farmer Catalogue
18/20
16
QUINCE A is the most common and will enable you to grow a pear tree at maturitysomewhere between 3m-6m (9ft-19ft). Regular pruning can keep the tree to the sizeyou want within that range. Very fertile soils will produce larger and quickergrowing trees compared to less fertile soils. Fruit will appear after 5 years.
Rootstock SJA: Victoria Plum / Blue Tit Plum
St. Julian A semi vigorous. A good rootstock for most soils. Trees grown on thisrootstock will reach a height of 3-3.5m. Trees grown on this rootstock will bearfruit within 4-5 years. Use for bushes, half-standards and fans.
Maidens
These are grafted trees that are 1 yr old and have not been pruned. They are approx
100-120cm or 3-4ft high. Buying a maiden is the best way to establish a new treeand get it just the right shape for your garden.
2 Yr Bush
This is a 2 yr old tree that was pruned in the first year to give it a more bush likehabit - 120-150cm or 4-5ft high. These trees will have a good chance of producingfruit this year but you would be advised to take off any fruit in the first year so the
tree puts its energy into getting well rooted and strong for next year when you willget plenty of fruit.
Bare Root
Most trees and shrubs transplant well in winter bare root. This is just as it reads - nopot, no soil, just bare root. It is the best way and the professionals preference.
Pollination Group / Partner
Nearly all apples are self sterile and therefore need a pollination partner. This isanother apple tree (not of the same variety) that flowers at the same time so you getcross pollination and thus fruit. Trees are given a pollination number of 1 to 5 andeach tree can pollinate a tree in the same group or the number either side. So if yourtree is in pollination group 3 this tree can be pollinated by a tree in 2, 3 or 4. If youare in an urban environment you probably won't need to worry about a pollination
partner for your tree - there will usually be compatible trees in neighbouringgardens and hedgerows.
