Additional plant information:
3x Malus domestica 'Sweet Summer'® special apple tree. We have an apple that ripens the fruits unevenly over a period of 6 to 8 weeks! The tree first has green apples then they get a blush and then, when they are ready to eat, they turn yellow. So you only pick the yellow apples and the rest you just leave hanging! The taste of the apple is strongly reminiscent of 'Golden Delicious'.
1x Crabapple Malus Evereste, cross-pollinator. Malus evereste is an ornamental apple tree. This tree produces beautiful blossoms and in the course of the summer orange-yellow ornamental apples that turn bright red in the autumn. A jewel for your garden. Do you have an apple tree that produces blossoms but no or little fruit? Place this Malus Evereste within a radius of 10 metres from the apple tree and you will notice that Evereste is an excellent cross-pollinator!
2x cherry bush – 1x Porthos & 1x Athos. Unique products: Prunus 'Athos'® and Prunus 'Porthos'® are the very first cherry bushes that can be planted in a pot or in the ground. The cherry bushes produce many delicious, very dark red cherries that can be harvested in June/July, depending on the weather conditions. The cherries are medium-sized and sweet in taste. Athos® and Porthos® are the result of approximately 60 years of research into crossbreeding. As far as is known, it is the only cherry plant in the world that stands on its own root without breeding. The plants are self-pollinating and bear fruit within two to four years after receipt, depending on the conditions.

The Larisa has an elongated sweet and sour berry that is rich in vitamin B and C. Self-pollinating, but with other members of the same species nearby the plant will produce more berries. The blossom is loved by bees and the berries by birds. The shrub is winter hardy and loses its leaves in the autumn. The berry grows on all types of soil, the best location is in the sun or light shade in a moist place.

This pear tree can grow to a maximum of about 4 meters.

Another name for the ribes nigrum 'Titania' is also blackcurrant.
