Maqui Berry ^8/10

Comments: -

Growing like crazy, already pruned twice so I could fit it under a temporary shadecloth set up on a few of the hottest days of Summer. This tree is well watered, fertilised monthly ( though I doubt it needs it ) and is growing in east facing bed along with avoc, white sapote and tree dahlia. Looks like it has been there for years!..Also, I painted the trunk and branches as they were getting burnt.

fresh raspberries never make it inside the house

this autumn fruiting variety has such a refreshing & long lasting flavour

can't compare home grown ( flavour burst ) with supermarket where the berries are large & good looking but dont hold their fantastic flavour all the way to market
