Fruit
The grow your own trend has seen an increased demand for Fruit Trees and Soft Top Fruit.
Fruit Trees are becoming increasingly popular for the garden. They can be colourful, structural and productive.
We always have a good selection of Container Grown Fruit Trees in stock, although early spring offers the widest choice. These can be planted all year round providing sufficient water is supplied during the summer months.
Many fruit trees are offered on a variety of root stocks, this determines how big the tree will grow. For apples a wide range is available, from M27 which is very dwarfing to M25 which is very vigorous. We usually stock M27 (2metre) & MM106 (3.5metre). For plums we stock Pixy (2metre) & St Julien A (3.5metre).
All our trees are sourced from growers in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire.
We can also supply tree stakes, tree ties and planting compost to get your tree off to a good start.
