Who we are
Tyn y Berllan
Tyn y Berllan is run by us, Dina and Neil Kingsnorth. We have spent a lifetime working in environmental, nature and land-based activities.
Amongst our shared history are events including running The Orchard Project, being the Head of Activism at Friends of the Earth, running a “Fruit and Bounty” orchard enterprise project in Pembrokeshire, leading certified permaculture courses (which we still do), creating a nature-based childcare business and designing and creating over fifty nature-based gardens across England and Wales. N
Nature and trees are amongst our greatest passions.
Alongside Tyn y Berllan, we also run Patch of the Planet – a social enterprise focused on connecting people and nature back together through gardens, community gardens and smallholdings, including through a growing range of courses.

Rootstock
CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROOTSTOCK FOR YOUR TREES
A rootstock is the root system of any given tree. They’re used for tree propagation and determine the eventual size of the tree. They’re also instrumental in helping the tree cope with different soil types – for example wetter or drier conditions or soil that is of poor quality - to promote disease resistance and to ensure compatibility with weather variations at the orchard’s location, such as cold winters.

POLLINATION
APPLE AND PEAR TREE POLLINATION
Apple and pear trees need to be pollinated to bear fruit. For cross pollination to occur, two trees of different varieties need to be in flower at the same time so that insects can transport pollen from one tree to the other.

Welsh Heritage Trees
All of our trees are grafted using scion wood sourced from orchards in Wales, with many of the varieties we stock of historical interest to the region. It's estimated that up to 95% of traditional orchards in Wales and England have been lost since 1900. We hope you join us in reversing that trend.
