What will my trees be like when they arrive?
Our trees are supplied as bare root trees in the dormant season (usually December - March).
- 1 year old "maiden" trees will usually arrive as a single, flexible stem (or some varieties will also have some side-shoots). Our 1 year-old trees are at least 80cm tall and can be up to 150cm (3ft - 5ft).
- Our older trees are 2 or 3 years old, often have some branching and may have some fruit buds. They can be between 80cm tall and can be up to 150cm (3ft - 5ft).
Trees that have grown over 150cm will be pruned to a bud at the top to fit into the packaging.
Choosing the right size rootstock
Pyrus Kirchensaller - Large. Up to 6m (20ft) high. Space trees 8-10m (26-32 ft) with 8-10m (26-32ft) between the rows. Consistent vigour and form. Ideal for large traditional orchards. Start fruiting after 7-8 years.
Pyrodwarf - Medium-Large. Up to 5m (16ft) high. Space trees 6-8m (20-26ft) apart. Very tough rootstock producing good quality uniform fruit after around 4-5 years.
Quince A - Medium. Up to 4m (13ft) high. Space trees 4-6m (13-20ft) apart. Perfect for fan-trained trees and espaliers. Starts fruiting 5-6 years.

Delivery
Postage is standard across mainland Britain. The cost is calculated in the checkout, based on the number of trees you order, and so the number of parcels required.
Whenever you order your trees, they will be despatched for delivery bare rooted during the winter planting season, which runs from early December to late March.
Trees that have grown over 150cm will be pruned to a bud at the top to fit into the packaging. Read more about planting your bare root trees here.
