Our Dream
Tyn y Berllan
Tyn y Berllan represents the unfolding dream of Nicky and Gareth of running a small-scale, off-grid fruit tree nursery and cider-making business based in Wales.
We hope this website will evolve not only into a place to locate and purchase quality apple and pear trees, but also as an up-to-date information resource, where we hope to share our vision for small-scale regenerative agriculture, natural cider, Welsh heritage fruit trees, and making a living from the land.

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 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.

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.
