We are helping to save our fruit tree heritage. Over 200 varieties of Heritage Fruit trees in stock including apples,pears,cherries and plums.
The Heritage Fruit Tree Company are on a mission to bring back
traditional varieties of apple, and other fruit, many of which are now
endangered. They launched ‘The Heritage Fruit Tree Company’ to make tasty,
rare and unusual apples, available to the public and to help the
conservation of our national fruit heritage.
We have searched out and hand-grafted dozens of regional heritage apple tree
varieties, including delicious dessert apples, excellent cookers, and dual
purpose apples that can be eaten or cooked. We are also providing a wide
range of vintage cider apple varieties to meet a new interest in home cider production.
All of their apple trees can be supplied in various sizes M27/M9/M26/M106/M111
including a miniature form that can grow in a large tub or garden border,
reaching only six feet and yet still bearing up to 25lb fruit, with first
crops within just two to three years. All trees are grown without chemicals in
locally sourced soil association approved compost and are hardy outdoor
propagated. Pot grown they can be planted at any time of the year.

heritage fruit trees are also available direct, TEL 01295 810516 for further details or
