If you have a holiday home in France or Spain or elsewhere in western Europe this orchard pack is the perfect way to bring a taste of England to your place in the sun.
The pack includes 5 bare-root fruit trees, comprising 3 apple trees, 1 pear tree, and 1 plum tree. The selection will include traditional English apple varieties such as Bramley and Cox, along with a Conference pear tree or Victoria plum tree.
The trees are usually 1-year olds, which is the best age for successful orchard establishment. Please note that we have to cut them down to a height of less than 1.5m to fit in our European delivery cartons, but although this sounds harsh on the trees you would have to prune them back to about 1m or so after planting anyway, as that encourages better growth in Spring.
They are all either self-fertile or able to cross-pollinate each other, so you should have no pollination worries.
The rootstocks will usually be 'semi-vigorous', which means the trees should reach a mature height of roughly 3m - 4.5m / 10ft - 15ft after 5-10 years. Semi-vigorous rootstocks produce fairly large attractive-looking trees which are nevertheless not so big that they become difficult to pick and look after.
You are welcome to contact us by phone or email to discuss specific requirements in advance of ordering.
As with all our trees, you also get telephone and email advice from our fruit tree experts.
Our trees have the European Plant Passport certification which allows export to the European Union.
NB. There is a variable delivery surcharge depending on the destination country - see our page on European delivery charges for more details.
