Tiptree

The first "Tiptree" conserves were made in 1885 on the Tiptree estate and are still made here to this day. Fruit crops include strawberries, mulberries and damsons to name but a few. Their signature fruit is the Little Scarlet strawberry, a tiny wild variety, originally brought to the UK by the Wilkin family in the early 1900's. Tiptree believe that they are unique in the world in growing this difficult crop, but it is worth it for the quality of conserve it provides.
