situation

For most fruits choose a warm sheltered position avoiding wet or shaded spots, although soft fruit will tolerate some shade. Avoid north walls except when planting blackberries which will crop successfully, albeit, a little later in the season. Crops are likely to be sparse in frosty situations. If birds are troublesome a fruit cage can be erected.

Rootstocks

Rootstocks for fruit trees - For grafting or budding your own fruit trees. All fruit trees are grafted onto rootstocks. The rootstock controls the vigour of the tree, allowing the cultivation of trees and bushes in a smaller space than if they were grown on their own roots. Our Rootstocks are only despatched from January - April. Fruit tree growing guide click here>
