I would like to try and grow cloudberry (see detail below) a relative of the
bramble, in my garden. Would anyone here by any chance know of a garden
centre or specialised nursery in Ireland that might have cloudberry plants
for sale?
TIA.

CLOUDBERRY
Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus) also known as salmonberry, yellowberry, and
baked apple berry, are a juicy, amber yellow relative of the raspberry. They
are found in subartic regions of the north temperate zone, such as New England,
Canada and Scandinavia. Cloudberries are too tart to eat out of hand, but
are excellent used in preserves and liqueurs.

The dudes over on uk.rec.gardening not coming up with anything? -:)

I'll check with a horticulturalist I know - though top of a Scottish
mountain sounds a bit limiting!

Gee whizz! I'm glad you haven't caught up with me on alt.weird.bovine.titilations
yet!
The dudes on URG seem to believe I can grow the stuff in Ireland.

I appreciate that! I found a nursery near Inverness which sells the seeds
and plants - but I am not sure they'll ship, and would prefer to see whether
I can get them here before contacting them.
If like me you had tasted the jam, you would go to the end of the planet
(or at least as far as Westmeath) to secure the plant that yield those magical
berries!!

Not to mention cloudberry liqueur ... a common thing to pour over your
waffles in Sweden ... mmmmmmmmmmmm! Most of it's made in Finland though
for some reason or the other.

It seems to be a bit of a national speciality: that's where I tasted
the jam. They even have the cloudberry on the back of their €2 coin!
Anyway.. any idea as to where in Ireland I might find plants or seeds?
The Inverness nursery has just replied to say they would have no
bother shipping - but I will only order from them if I can't find
anything here.

Cloudberry jam and brown cheese. Ummmm.
If you do find out, please post details.

Now to find a supplier for the cheese. Lost contact with people who used to visit
and bring some.

Do you mean the Norwegian stuff ... Gjetost, I think it's called? I'm
pretty sure you could find somewhere that would deliver that mail-order,
or you might try Sheridans on Lower Anne St. in Dublin.

As for the cloudberry jam, and other Swedish goodies, I always used to
get mine from the Swedish shop in Ikea, but unfortuneately they haven't
(yet) opened here in Ireland. I developed quite a penchant for Dill
crisps ...
