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 90cm tall and can be up to 150cm (3ft - 5ft).
- Our older trees are 2 or 3 years old, usually have some branching and may have some fruit buds. They are between generally 110cm and 150cm (4ft - 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
M26 – Medium-Small. A great size for gardens, M26 is a semi-swarfing rootstock, with trees growing up to 2.5-3.5 (8-11ft) high. Also good for espaliers and cordons. Space trees 3-4m (9ft-12ft) with 4m (12ft) between the rows. Starts fruiting after 2-3 years.
M116 – Medium. A semi-vigorous rootstock, with trees growing up to 3-4m (10-13ft) high. Very similar in size and abundance to the MM106 below, but better for wetter soils. Good for half standards, espaliers, cordons. Space trees 3.6m (12ft) with 4.5m (15ft) between the rows. Starts fruiting after 3-4 years.
