Buying and receiving your trees
Buying your trees online:
You can purchase trees directly from our online shop (trees are listed from around late-July until we close in mid-March).
If you'd like advice on your choice, we're always happy to help. Email us or phone us - 07818091739 and we'll take it from there.
Please contact us in good time as we do run out of popular varieties. Whether you're planning on planting a single tree or acres of orchard, we can help you to select a range of eaters, cookers, cider, perry, and crab apples, many of Welsh heritage that will be well suited to your location and personal requirements.
We sell our trees as "bare root" trees. As with all bare root tree nurseries, our trees are distributed during the fruit tree dormant period, which is usually from late November until March. This is the period you will receive your trees, even if ordered in the summer months.
You can collect your trees from us here in Pembrokeshire during that period, at no cost.
Or alternatively, you can select for us to send them out to you mail order. We can send trees across mainland Britain but sadly, not Northern Ireland or abroad.

Local collection
You can choose to collect the trees yourself from our nursery at Llys-y-Fran, Pembrokeshire. We will contact you in the winter, before the trees are ready for collection, to arrange a suitable time. You are welcome to contact us first if you'd like to try to arrange specific dates.
Receiving your trees
The time between lifting the tree and dispatch is kept to a minimum to keep the trees in peak condition.
You will get an email a day or two before your trees are due to arrive, with all of the delivery and tracking information. If you have any particular dates you would or would not like the trees sent to you, let us know as soon as possible so we can arrange that.
HOW WE PACKAGE YOUR TREES.
Where possible we use compostable materials for packaging. The tree roots will be kept damp in compostable bags, packed with materials like straw and wrapped in corrugated cardboard for protection. We can include up to around 10 in a single parcel.
ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR TREES.
Open and remove the outer layer of cardboard packaging, leaving the tree roots in the bag. Keeping the bag in place around the tree roots, then store in a cool place. A barn, shed or garage is ideal. They will keep like this for a few days if you are not ready to plant immediately.
If you need to store the trees for longer than this before planting out, you will need to remove the trees from the bag and 'heel-in' the trees. This means digging a trench in your garden and completely covering the roots with soil or compost to stop them drying out. The trees can remain bundled together whilst heeled in and can remain like this for a few weeks fine, until you are ready to plant them out.
The trees will need to be planted by the end of March at the latest.
