History of Blackmoor Nurseries

During the 1920s Lord Wolmer decided to establish a fruit farm on his estate at Blackmoor in Hampshire. He quickly decided that he would only plant trees worked on the stocks recommended by East Malling Research station. At the time, however, it was difficult to obtain trees of this description. He therefore established stoolbeds of these rootstock from which to work trees for his own orchards.

This led to the establishment of a small-scale nursery. At first sales were confined to produce that was in excess of the planting programme on the farm, but the keen demand for fruit trees of the quality and at the prices he was able to offer led to the expansion of the nursery enterprise.

For seventy years Blackmoor Nurseries has sourced its rootstocks and scion bud wood from material of the highest plant health status. We now provide a wide range of fruit trees, bushes and soft fruit to garden centres, commercial growers and to retail customers.

Blackmoor Orchards grow apples, pears, plums and soft fruit for many of the high street multiple retail outlets on 250 acres of orchards. Each year about 10 acres of new orchards are planted with trees grown by Blackmoor Nurseries.

With its range of fruit enterprises, from rootstocks and fruit tree production, to orchards, storage and grading and to the Blackmoor Apple Shop, Blackmoor is involved in every link of the product chain.

Blackmoor's Annual Open Day on the second Sunday in October attracts over five thousand visitors who come to see for themselves how this specialist business has remained in the forefront of fruit production for over seventy years.
