Welcome to
The Heritage Fruit Tree Company
The Heritage Fruit Tree Company provides fruit lovers with traditional and tasty varieties of fruit trees suitable for different spaces, from dwarf to traditional full size orchard trees.
Each year, we take on a limited number of orchard design projects and orchard surveys as well as local orchard maintenance and expert tree pruning.
As devotees of healthy tree growing, we also run several courses in North Oxfordshire, including winter and summer pruning, fruit tree grafting and how to maintain your trees with wildlife friendly practises.
Our heritage fruit trees
The Heritage Fruit Tree Company supplies thousands of varieties of heritage fruit trees, including:
* Rare, unusual and historic fruit varieties.
* Regional UK varieties, including apples from Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Bedfordshire and Hampshire.
* Heritage apples and pears that have historically grown well in particular areas of the UK.
* Various sizes from heritage dwarf trees, which are ideal for container growing and for small gardens, to medium sizes trees, up to vigorous traditional orchard trees.
* Dessert, culinary and dual purpose fruit to eat and cook with, as well as varieties that are ideal for juicing, and varieties for cider or perry.
* Damsons, gages, plums, quinces, medlars, mulberries and other fruit.
* Fruit that spans the seasons in order to maximise the time you can eat your own home-grown fruit.
* Varieties that are particularly suited to particular conditions such as cooler, wetter or drier locations.
* Wonderful flavours, textures and aromas that you rarely (or never) find on a supermarket shelf.
* Graft to order trees.

Good Growing
The Heritage Fruit Tree Company hand grafts and nurtures hundreds of hardy heritage fruit trees in North Oxfordshire, using wildlife friendly husbandry and the utmost attention to a healthy regime.
We source other UK grown hardy fruit trees from some of the best UK nurseries that share our passion for horticultural excellence.
Collection or delivery
Our heritage container trees can be collected from us in Adderbury, near Banbury in North Oxfordshire, by arrangement, at mutually convenient times, or, in some cases, delivered locally, for all-year round planting. Our heritage bare root trees can be delivered by courier during the winter months to most UK addresses. Bare root deliveries are subject to tree lifting schedules in the dormant months, as well as weather conditions.
If possible, it is good idea to order trees well ahead of your planting schedule, particularly as some varieties and sizes may sell out.
