Tummelberry Fruit & Berry Seeds Packet
Tummelberry seeds for the kitchen garden that intends to actually produce tummelberry this year. The Tummelberry is what happens when a raspberry and a tayberry agree to try something new.
Tummelberry is a thornless hybrid berry producing large, sweet purple-red fruits with an exceptional flavour. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.
How to Grow Tummelberry from Seed
Sowing and Germination
Start indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost or direct sow in spring. Well-drained soil, full sun.
Care and Harvest
Train on supports. Harvest dark purple-red berries when fully ripe. Fruits summer to autumn.
Why Vacuum-Sealed Seeds Last Longer
Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
About the Packaging
Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
