    Apple TREES are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus Malus. The apple is a deciduous tree, generally standing 2 to 4.5m tall having its origins in Central Asia. When cultivated, the size, shape and branch density are determined by rootstock selection and trimming method. LEAVES are dark green simple ovals with serrated margins. Blossoms are produced in spring at the same time as leaves. FLOWERS are generally white with a pink tinge.  The FRUIT matures in late summer or autumn. Different CULTIVARS are bred for various tastes and use, including cooking, eating raw and cider production. Sometimes hand thinning is necessary to avoid overstressing the tree, which may result in a poor crop the following year. However this should not be done until mid-December when the natural fall is complete. ROOTSTOCKS are used to control speed of growth and the size of the resulting tree allowing for easier harvesting.

    Originally domesticated in China, apricots are grown successfully around the world.  These small TREES are a manageable size for the home orchard growing to around 4-5m tall. FLOWERS appear in spring with FRUIT  (a drupe similar to a small peach, ranging in colour from yellow to orange) ready to harvest Dec - Feb.  As they are self fruiting, you typically don't need two apricot trees to produce fruit. They are relatively easy to grow and will produce loads of fruit year after year that can be enjoyed fresh from the tree, made in to jam, bottled or dried. Apricots we supply are better suited to warmer climates. HARVEST is from Dec - Feb. Make enquiries as to which varieties we have available now or see our online catalogue.
