Mixed small fruits: gooseberry, yellow raspberry and blackberry - 9 cm pot - Set of 3

Yes, the raspberry bush (Rubus idaeus 'Fallgold') is a very distinct variety that produces raspberries of a beautiful golden to amber-yellow color, quite different from classic red raspberries. These fruits are particularly sweet and aromatic, often less acidic than traditional red varieties. The harvest takes place in late summer and extends into autumn depending on weather conditions, making it a highly prized biennial-fruiting variety. Its silhouette and colorful fruit also add real ornamental appeal to the vegetable garden or fruit border.

Rubus fruticosus 'Thornfree' is indeed a blackberry cultivar specifically bred for its thornless stems, which greatly facilitates fruit harvesting and annual pruning. This feature makes it ideal for family gardens, especially when creating a fruit hedge accessible to children. It produces juicy, sweet black blackberries, perfect for jams, desserts, or eating fresh.

Yes, these three fruit trees can certainly be grown in pots on a sunny terrace or balcony, provided you choose sufficiently large containers (at least 30 to 40 cm in diameter) to allow for good root development. The growing medium should be rich, well-drained, and partially replaced each year. In pots, t'heir will need watering more frequently than'in the ground, especially during the summer and fruiting season. Also, be sure to apply a specific fruit fertilizer in spring to support production. On a balcony, prefer a south-facing or west-facing exposure to ensure sufficient sunlight.

Ribes rubrum 'Jonkheer van Tets' is one of the most renowned redcurrant varieties for its early and abundant production. It is perfectly suited to the French climate, hardy and resistant even to severe winters. This variety produces long clusters of bright red, highly fragrant redcurrants, ideal for jellies, tarts, and homemade juices. It appreciates slightly acidic, well-worked soil, in full sun or light partial shade. It is a sure bet in the fruit garden, highly productive from the second year and easy to grow as a free-form bush or trained on a trellis.

The ideal time to plant this trio of fruit trees in the ground is in 'autumn or early spring, when there is no risk of frost. Planting in 'autumn encourages gradual root establishment throughout 'winter for vigorous growth from the following spring. Space each plant at least '80 cm to 1 m apart to give each the room it needs to grow. Mix compost into the bottom of the planting hole and water thoroughly when planting, then regularly for the first few weeks. Mulch around the base of each plant helps retain 'moisture and reduces competition from weeds during the 'establishment phase.

Yes, the redcurrant bush (Rubus idaeus), the blackberry bush (Rubus fruticosus) and the redcurrant bush (Ribes rubrum) are all fully hardy fruit bushes, capable of withstanding well below freezing temperatures without protection in the ground in almost all regions of France. These species lose their leaves in winter (deciduous foliage) and naturally enter dormancy, which enhances their cold resistance. In regions with very harsh winters, a 5 to 10 cm layer of mulch at the base of the plants is sufficient to protect the roots.

The raspberry bush, mulberry tree, and gooseberry bush are all fast-growing shrubs that develop vigorously from their first planting season. The 'Fallgold' raspberry bush and 'Thornfree' mulberry tree can produce some fruit in their first year, but it 'is from the second season that production becomes truly generous. The red gooseberry bush 'Jonkheer van Tets' is also very early and generally produces its first good harvest in the second year.
