Why fruit bushes are perfect for the garden
Fruit bushes are popular in both large and small gardens because they provide lots of fresh fruit with minimal care. Berry bushes such as blackcurrants, currants, blueberries, gooseberries and raspberries are known for their great taste and high vitamin content.
By choosing different fruit bushes, you can ensure a harvest from early summer to late autumn – and most types are easy to establish and require little maintenance.
How to choose the right berry bushes
When choosing fruit bushes, it is an advantage to think about soil type, location and desired harvest time, a few examples are:
• Blueberries require acidic soil.
• Currants and blackcurrants thrive in ordinary garden soil.
• Raspberries prefer sun and even moisture.
• Gooseberries love the sun, but can also thrive in partial shade
