General Information Trees can be ordered, dispatched and planted out at any time of the year. They are delivered in pots with the soil in which they are grown. First fruits will appear 6-12 months after delivery. A comprehensive leaflet accompanies each tree and explains the basic care needed, including soils, watering, fertilising, pruning, pests and pot growing.

Stonefruit Tree (we have between 2 and 8 grafts available per tree)
- combines Peaches, Apricots, Plums, Nectarines and Peachcot

There can be more than one variety of a peach, nectarine, plum or apricot on the one tree; each variety ripening at different times, e.g. one early season, one late season.

There are trees with varieties of fruits to suit warm/temperate climates, with other varieties for colder climates.

Tree height: Trees are grafted so that the fruiting branches begin from about 10 cms above soil level, keeping the height of the trees to a minimum and allowing easy harvesting of the different fruits. This eliminates the need to use dangerous ladders.

• Grown in the ground - approximately 3 metres(10ft) high x 2 metres(6ft) wide
• Grown in containers - approximately 2 metres(6ft) high x 1 metre(3ft) wide

Only the most popular fruits are chosen for the Citrus Fruit Salad Tree. These are a dwarfing variety of tree and can withstand cold temperatures down to minus 8 degrees centigrade.

Tree height: Being a dwarfing type, the height is kept to a minimum to allow for easy, safe harvesting of the fruit.

• Grown in the ground-approximately 2 metres(6ft) high x 2 metres(6ft) wide
• Grown in containers-approximately 1.3 metres(4ft) high x 1 metre(3ft) wide

Multi-Apples (we have 2, 3 or 4 grafts available per tree)
- Warm, Temperate and Cold climates

This tree produces a variety of different apples only. Trees are grafted with 2-4 varieties and possible combinations have red, green and yellow skin apples, ripening over a period of months. Trees are available with varieties that will produce fruit in a broad range of climates. Compatible varieties for cross-pollination purposes are grafted onto the one tree, so only the one tree is required.

Multi-Apples can be espaliered along a trellised wire, a fence or wall or as "stand alone" trees with a height of 2 metres (10ft) high x 2 metres(6ft) wide.

NOTE: No apples are allowed to be sent to Western Australia.

Multi-Nashis(Japanese Pears) (we have 2, 3 or 4 grafts available per tree)
- Temperate/Cold climates only

What a wonderful fruit this is! Very juicy, yet so crisp, with a thin pear-like skin and the crispness of an apple. A very popular and delicious fruit that is easy to grow. Trees have between 2 and 4 types ripening over some months. The varieties required for cross-pollination purposes are grafted together so only one tree is required.

Multi-Nashis can be espaliered along a trellised wire, a fence or wall or as "stand alone" trees with a height of 3 metres (10ft) high x 2 metres(6ft) wide.
