Fruit Tree Sizing & Shapes

The table below explains the delivery sizes of the fruit trees that we grow, like Apple, Pear, Plum or Cherry trees which are collectively known as "top fruit".

You can buy Cordons (apples & pears only as crop sizes are too small on stone fruit such as cherries and plums), Bushes and Half Standards to get a headstart on the most common fruit tree shapes.
A Maiden tree is a "blank slate" that you can train yourself into any shape you want.
