has anybody tried these? I'm short of space and wondered if it would be better idea to grow everbearer in the limited space i have, I was thinking mara des bois.

Hi Mandylew, Sounds like a good plan if space is short, I believe another new everbearer is out called Albion,

There is also a climbing variety that will go up a trellis,

so probably quite a few space saving options,
I have also seen them growing on a ladder frame up against a sunny wall and on strawberry tables. Goodluck with your choice.

thanks for that, they look great I nearly made the mistake of ordering from blackmoor nursery £1 a plant then I realised on checkout postage was £10! have to go with runners from t&m as the rhs shop is out of stock they do seem popular.
