Andy Howard's The Heritage Fruit Tree Company is helping to save our fruit tree heritage. Over 200 varieties of Heritage Fruit trees in stock including apples, pears, cherries, plums and other top fruit and soft fruit. And (to graft to order) the Deddington Pippin ('discovered', named and propagated by Andy in 2007) as featured on the BBC4 programme Apples - British to the Core.

The Heritage Fruit Tree Company is on a mission to bring back traditional varieties of apple, and other fruit, many of which are now endangered.  Andy launched ‘The Heritage Fruit Tree Company’ to make tasty, rare and unusual apples (including many Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northants  varieties) available to the public and to help the conservation of our national fruit heritage.

The Heritage Fruit Tree Company has searched out and hand-grafted dozens of regional heritage apple tree varieties, including delicious dessert apples ( The Deddington Pippin) excellent cookers, and dual purpose apples that can be eaten or cooked.  We also provide a wide range of vintage cider apple varieties to meet a new interest in home cider production.

Apple trees can be supplied in various sizes M27/M9/M26/M106/M111/M25, 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 that are grown by the Heritage Fruit Tree Co 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. 

We also source other UK grown hardy bare root fruit trees  and bushes from some of the best UK growing nurseries which can be supplied as bare root or container grown. To guarantee requirements for autumn planting please reserve your trees by July. Local delivery, collections and mail order service available. The Heritage Fruit Tree Company also attends some apple and wood related events.
