NEW for 2025 We're excited to have these caper bushes available for the same time.
They are a fairly easy going Mediterranean shrub with a similar hardiness to Olive trees so they can live outside year round in most areas of the UK.
These are still small bushes as pictured, but they will grow on well and we expect them to flower for the first time next year.
Caper berries thrive in a sunny well drained spot and are best grown in a pot in the UK or in a well drained raised bed. It's the unopened flower buds that are pickled to make the tasty capers we know from salads but the flowers are also stunning and after flowering they produce fat berries that can also be pickled. We can't wait to try harvesting and pickling both.
