Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Marceli is not intended to impress through giant fruit; its real strength is flavour. The oval red cornels are mild, aromatic and pleasant for fresh eating while also suiting preserves. The shrub crops regularly and fits easily into an edible hedge. It is best selected for fruit quality and balance rather than exceptional size.
