Every new year we like to take stock of what's hot, especially in our field productions. This ensures we have as much top quality produce as possible and we've put together a few of our field favourites.

As promised last week, I’ve been looking at trees that are best for each circumstance and have come up with the following list, to hopefully cover the main circumstances our customers encounter.
