Jam Maker's Favourites

You jammy so and so, you've just happened to land on the page of preserves, conserves and, of course, jams.

Whatever the case, these fruits are all brilliant for cooking down into sweet, sticky spreads you can spread liberally on your morning toast!

Fruit plants grown with love (and serious knowhow!)

Mike’s our guy when it comes to growing soft fruits. He’s our grape guru. Our gooseberry genius. Our blueberry boffin. What Mike doesn’t know about soft fruits? Well, it simply isn’t worth knowing. Having traversed the world from Australia to Northern Ireland – and even undertaking a horticultural stint in Sweden – Mike combines his enthusiasm, technical expertise, state-of-the-art facilities and favourable climatic conditions of the Cotswolds to grow only the very juiciest, sweetest soft fruits.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
