This orchard starter pack is the ideal way to start your own home or community orchard.
The basic 5-tree pack includes 5 bare-root fruit trees, comprising 3 different varieties of apple trees and 2 further trees which will be a mix of pear trees / plum trees / cherry trees.
The extended 10-tree pack includes 10 bare-root trees, each of different varieties, and will consist of apple trees, pear trees, a plum tree, a gage or damson or cherry plum, and a cherry tree.
The trees are selected by us from varieties that are reliable and easy to grow. The trees are usually 1-year olds, which is the best age for successful orchard establishment. They are all either self-fertile or able to cross-pollinate each other, so you will 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 medium-large trees which are nevertheless not so big that they become difficult to pick and look after.
You can also specify the packs with accessories, which include a sharpened tree stake, tree tie, and spiral guard for each tree.
As with all our trees, you also get telephone and email advice from our fruit tree experts.
