That would be brilliant, I shall keep an eye on the blog and look out for them, I intend to purchase two plants using the link Graham Rice provided.

Hi Digger, I've spoken to Jim Arbury (Wisley Fruit & Trials Superintendent) and he is very keen to try this edible honeysuckle in the fruit area at Wisley. We will likely source it later this year and will certainly be asking the Fruit Trials Sub-Committee to assess it in due course.

Is there any plans to trial the edible honeysuckle from siberia? I hadn't heard of them before Graham's post but i think i will buy a couple of plants

It's a gorgeous iris, but what on earth is he doing with it?

Hi Graham. No nothing about veg prop yet. I think the general consensus amongst the committee was that Christo would have loved it!

That is one amazing fennel - and a great picture, too, to show it's size. Did Fergus have anything to say about the possibility of vegetative propagation? I have to say, it looks like a Dixter plant that Christopher Lloyd would have loved.

I prefer to garden without chemicals and am very pleased that the RHS is trialling alternatives.

I like the sound of compost tea as I try to keep away from using chemicals in the garden. I would most certainly be interested in how it performs.

The Trials Bulletins produced by the Trials Office team and Wisley botanists are especially valuable. And they're FREE to download. There are now 23 available covering everything from cannas and delphiniums to peppers, runner beans, lavender and caryopteris.
