More about apple trees

We know our apples! We are affiliated with Orange Pippin, one of the biggest online resources about apple varieties, and we list more than 100 apple tree varieties available for sale in Great Britain. Whether you are an expert fruit gardener, or a first-time grower, or planning a new community or farm orchard project, we have knowledgeable experts who can advise on the best apple variety for your needs.

Our apple trees are grafted on rootstocks which will control the long-term height of the tree - so you can choose the size of tree that will best suit your garden or orchard project, with mature heights from 1.5m to 6m.

Apples display perhaps a greater range of flavours, appearance, and texture than any other tree fruits. This diversity makes apples a particularly satisfying fruit for home cultivation. Without much difficulty (or space) you can grow a number of different apple trees which will keep a family supplied with fresh apples from mid-summer to late autumn, and with a good spread of flavours and uses.
