available for collection or delivery
Our apple and pear trees are available for delivery to anywhere in mainland Britain. Or if you prefer, you can arrange to collect the trees from us directly.
All our trees are available for collection or delivery as bare-rooted trees in the winter, when the trees are fully dormant. This is usually from December to late March.

Ordering your trees

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.

Planting
Planting your new Welsh fruit trees
Here at the Welsh fruit tree nursery, it often feels akin to child rearing. Daily we care and nurture, worry and cajole the trees, helping them to sustain life at the early stages. Providing them with the best start in their lives, whether in your garden, orchard or farm is paramount.

Grown in Wales
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.
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.
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.
