What should I know about buying potted fruit trees?  

The majority of trees in the UK are planted bareroot in the Winter planting season, November to March.

Pot-grown trees are equally good and can be planted year round as long as you water them! 

Our potted fruit trees should be planted out promptly, either to open soil, or a larger container.
They could live in the pot they come in, with irrigation, for almost a year before urgently needing repotting. But that nursery pot is intended as a "lifeboat" to get the trees to your garden, not a long term home.

Which fruit trees can I buy in pots?

The most popular fruit tree varieties are both grown in pots, and sold bareroot.
Other wonderful varieties are only available bareroot, during the winter bareroot planting season (November to March).

To add colour to a new orchard while you wait for it to become productive, a cheerful range of garden bulbs planted between your trees in Autumn is a sure bet: a few clumps will transform the Spring display, but you could grow alleys of cut and wild flowers between rows of fruit trees.

Should I Buy Bareroot or Pot Grown Fruit Trees?

Bareroot plants are cheaper, easier to handle, and even more certain to establish well, but they are only available during winter, November to March.

There is nothing wrong with pot grown fruit trees, which have the advantage of being ready to plant at any time, as long as you can water them without fail during the growing season.

FAQ

• How to Get Fruit Quickly? Remove all fruitlets after flowering in the first year they appear, and all or most of them in the second year.
• Fruit Tree Pollination An apple won't pollinate a cherry, and one apple tree will not pollinate another of the same variety. However, in most parts of the UK, there are already pollination partners in your area, especially for apples. 

Fruit Tree Delivery Sizes: Maidens, Bushes & Half-Standards

Most of our fruit trees (sold bareroot or pot grown) are sold in more than one size: something to fit almost any garden.

Maidens are unbranched, grafted one year prior.

• They are the youngest, cheapest fruit tree you can buy.
• They are the basic "building block" from which all other tree shapes are formed (apart from mini-patio trees).

"Bush" and half-standards forms are branched, grafted two or three years prior.

• They are the most popular options for most gardeners, giving you a real head start on a mature tree:
• The difference is that the bush form has a short trunk about 75cm tall, and the half-standard form has a trunk about 1.25cm tall.
• The bush form is easy to harvest and takes up less space. A strimmer may be easier to get under it than a lawnmower.
• The half-standard form produces more fruit, and you can push a mower around it more easily.
