articleWe are a small nursery interested in preserving old fruit tree varieties. For close to 30 years we have been selling a big range of heritage fruit tree varieties on dwarfing root stock. They have a spectrum of colour, size, flavour and textures that’s far richer than anything you can buy at the grocer these days. have a big range of fruiting times, colours, textures, tastes and uses: eating cooking, preserving, juicing and making cider. We also grow some trees on semi-dwafing and non-dwarfing rootstocks.

Our secret is simple. Rather than the supermarket dictating which fruit you eat based on how it can be cool-store or resist bruising and blemishing, you can grow your own and enjoy tree ripened fruit. If you plant a range of fruit trees that ripen at early, mid and late in the season, you can keep youself in fruit for about six months of the year. Whatever you grow, there is nothing that comes close to the pleasure of growing your own food.

Our dwarfing fruit trees start to bear within 2-3 years, grow up to 2m tall and and are ideal to train onto wires (espalier).

Please browse our site catalogue with included images where available, or download and print a hard copy. We've included some information on practical things that we think you'll find helpful when planting your orchard.

Please read our disclaimer.
