Trees and shrubs produce fruits and berries in a magical way year after year. It all starts with delicate blossoms in the spring sun and visits from buzzing bees, and then sun, rain and nutrients make the fruits swell with sweetness, strength and juice. This beautiful process brings beauty and life to the garden, and the healthy fruits have an unsurpassed quality. The flavour and antioxidant content of fully ripe fruits are highest when eaten straight from the trees or bushes.
