Home > Fruit Trees
The largest fruit trees you can buy are called Half-Standards. Bush fruit trees are similar but more compact when mature, with a shorter trunk. Maidens are the youngest size: they are mainly used for training onto wires as fans or espaliers.
All of our fruit trees are available bareroot for winter delivery & planting. A smaller range of pot-grown fruit trees is delivered year round.
Bareroot trees are cheap, easy to handle and have strong root systems that establish rapidly.
Most fruit trees are available as year old maidens or ready pruned into bush or half-standard shapes.
Many of our apples and pears can also be bought as cordons.
