How To Grow
Good pest and disease resistance
Radishes may be affected by flea beetles, slugs and snails, and cabbage root fly, which can be prevented by using brassica collars. To prevent downy mildew, space your plants out well and avoid splashing water on the leaves.
Water regularly
Keep the soil consistently moist to ensure rapid, even growth and succulent roots that dont split. This can be tricky in hot, dry summer weather, when watering is essential. Roots that go short of water may fail to swell, while inconsistent watering can cause them to split.
Full sun to partial shade
Radishes need around 6-8 hours of sunlight every day. Partial shade during the hottest parts of the day will help prevent the plant bolting.
Any fertile, well-draining soil
Thrives in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or often becomes waterlogged then you can improve the drainage by adding in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost as well as some perlite or gravel.

Excellent delivery and service
Well, the delivery was spot on, the tree looks healthy enough for a sleeping plant, although at the moment most of the branches are on one side of the trunk which in itself is bent banana-style. quite wonky. One can only hope that it grows into a fruitful plant with some character?

Nice sized tree in good condition
Time will tell on the quality of the product (bare-root apple trees), but the stems that arrived seemed in great condition and very well packaged so no damage in transit. Looking forward to Spring!

Lovely tree
So happy with my purchase of my Braeburn Hillwell apple tree from Roots Plants. It arrived promptly, well packaged and in a good, healthy condition. I soaked it for an hour before planting and it's doing well. Looking forward to our home grown apples, in time.
Ms Arlene Bocking
It has picked up now and is growing well
It arrived in a heat wave and looked a little bit sorry for itself when planted out but it has picked up now and is growing well.
David Osborne
Good service all round
Arrived on time as the seller said it would and the courier gave me a time slot to track my parcel. It came well packaged and was of good quality for this time of year. It looks a good and healthy tree and will be planted up in a few weeks after the ground has been prepared. I’m pleased with my purchase.
