About

We offer a wide variety, from popular apples, to unusual quinces. Many fruiting plants also feature pretty spring flowers, making them equally at home in ornamental gardens and productive allotments. Multiple sizes are available, including dwarf patio fruit trees for smaller spaces and mature trees for instant impact. Choosing Fruit Trees There are many types of apple, pear, plum, peach and cherry to choose from, with a wide range of uses from eating fresh, to cooking or making into drinks. There's also a range of soft fruit bushes, plus some more unusual fruit trees such as mulberry, fig, hazelnut, medlar and quince. They all make fantastic gifts - the gift that keeps on giving!

For example, Cox’s Orange Pippin apple variety isn’t recommended for trickier northern areas, whilst Cox Self Fertile is. Many of our fruit trees have been propagated by grafting onto rootstocks which offer a number of benefits compared to those that have been grown from seed—they tend to fruit much faster and have a better disease resistance, with an easier to control size. Many varieties are offered on a choice of rootstocks, so you can choose the ideal size whether they are for a small garden or large orchard. Individual product pages give guide heights for the applicable variety and rootstocks available. There are a number of varieties that are naturally dwarf and ideal for keeping in a pot. If you're planting just one fruit tree, you may want to consider self fertile or family fruit trees that contain 3 varieties on 1 tree. Our fruit trees are sold VAT free.
