Product description
Wineberry is a deciduous garden shrub with plenty of interesting features. The foliage emerges in spring, pale green with white undersides, before turning yellow in autumn. In summer, small, red-tinged white flowers cover the plant then make way for the bright orange-red berries that follow.
These berries are similar to raspberries and are delicious freshly picked or in jams, jellies, pies, desserts, and smoothies. The flavour is slightly tart when harvested too soon and becomes sweeter as the fruits ripen. You'll know the berries are ready to eat when the colour darkens to a deep red hue. Wineberries are easy to pick from the shrub and freeze well for use all year round.
Also known as Japanese Wineberry, this fruit plant is native to Asia but is easy to grow in this part of the world. It prefers a spot in full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune wineberry plants in early spring to remove dead or damaged canes and promote stronger new growth. This helps improve airflow and fruit production.
How to Water
Water wineberry plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base to promote healthy root development. Once established, wineberries are relatively drought-tolerant, but regular watering supports better fruit yield.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny, well-drained spot with fertile soil. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, mix in compost, and plant the wineberry at the same depth as it was in the pot. Space plants 2–3 feet apart, water well, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
