Redeva programme comes up trumps with Red Glory

Big potential for raspberries


After a period where the supply and demand for strawberries has been cyclical due to varying weather conditions, there are high hopes that the coming months will bring a greater degree of stability.

Everbearers are about to come into production which should provide a regular stream of quality fruit through until the end of summer, and beyond.

Even more encouraging news is that Red Glory, which has come through Redeva's extensive selection trials with flying colours, will be in full production throughout July and August.

Our retail customers have already been impressed with the flavour, colour and shape, and this was confirmed with Red Glory winning first prize for UK bred variety at the prestigious Kent Show.
