  • Apple Tree – Discovery (Bare Rooted)

    £39.99
    (1 Bare Rooted Tree)

    Juicy apples for late summer. Good disease resistance
    ‘Discovery’ is a very popular apple tree to grow at home producing a good crop of dessert apples in late summer. Known for their juiciness, they will keep for a week or so, but are best eaten fresh from the tree. The crisp red from the skin can sometimes bleed into the flesh, so you may see pink streaks when you crunch into one of the apples. They are quite resistant to disease, fully hardy, reliable croppers and make an excellent choice for novice growers.

    Number of plants: 1 bare rooted tree for winter planting (approx 1.5m tall)
    Variety: Discovery (dessert apple)
    Position: Full sun, well draining soil
    In the kitchen: This variety is best for eating fresh from the tree, and makes good juice.

    Pruning & Growing Information

  • Apple Tree – Greensleeves (Bare Rooted)

    £39.99
    (1 Bare Rooted Tree)

    Like Golden Delicious, but better!
    This tends to be a high cropping tree, whilst still fairly compact making it a good option for smaller gardens and plots, especially if you only have space for one apple tree. The apples themselves are a cross between two very popular varieties: Golden Delicious and James Grieve, and tend to sweeten up the longer they are left on the tree. This variety is both hardy and disease-resistant.

    Number of plants: 1 bare rooted tree for winter planting (approx 1.5m tall)
    Variety: Greensleeves (eating/dessert apple)

    £39.99
    (1 Bare Rooted Tree)

    Arguably the UK’s favourite pear tree
    We’ve chosen this variety of pear tree because it is just such a good all-rounder. You really can’t go wrong. You can plant it in full sun or partial shade, up against a north facing wall or south facing, you can grow it in pots or in the ground. You can train it as an espalier, fan or cordon (and if you don’t know what that means, don’t worry, you don’t need to) and you can grow it in the south or the north of the country. It is reliable, heavy cropping and super tasty.

    Variety: Conference
    Position: Full sun/partial shade, soil or pots
