Apple : Bramley's Seedling

The most famous of all and best ever cooking apple.

Pick from October when mature for immediate use or lay fruits in a cool dry place for winter storage.

All Bramleys are 'triploids' and will set a partial crop by themselves. However pollination will be improved by having another apple tree near by, this can be in yours or a neighbours garden because the bees will happily travel a short distance to do the work.

Apple Bramley's Seedling is grafted onto an M9 rootstock which produces a dwarf tree of excellent vigour in all soils - making it ideal for the garden, as you can easily reach to prune, spray and pick your delicious fruit.

Bred in Great Britain.

Apple : Cox's Orange Pippin

Often considered the finest tasting dessert apple. Medium sized rosy apples have thin skins and a crisp texture followed by sweet and juicy flesh.

A bumper crop will be ready to harvest in the autumn.

Apples store well and are at their best for eating from November-January.

Apricot : Flavourcot®

Specially bred for the cooler UK climate, to produce huge crops of large egg sized orange/red delicious fruits with improved colour, texture and flavour. Being late flowering it is also frost resistant so you always get a crop.

Excellent used for cooking as well as sweet and juicy when eaten fresh from the tree, just like a peach, in August.

Grafted onto a specialist apricot rootstock called 'Mont Clare' which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2-2.5m (7-8ft), manageable tree for the small garden and is proven to give a bigger crop of apricots. Due to modern breeding techniques and yield improvements it is now easy for the home gardener to grow and enjoy these exotic fruits.

Cherry : Sunburst

High quality, dark red almost black large dessert cherries of the sweetest flavour which will store well for a short period after picking. Cherry Sunburst has 'Gisella 7' rootstock which produces good fruit size, but with compact growth so that it can be grown in a small space. Being self fertile it is ideal for small gardens planted in a warm sunny spot in a large container on the patio.

Ready to harvest slightly earlier than Stella from mid July.

Fig : Brown Turkey

Specially selected for the UK climate as Brown Turkey is fully hardy and can be grown very successfully outdoors, producing large crops of sweet and juicy figs with a deep red flesh under their brown skins.

Makes a dramatic feature plant fan trained against a wall or in a container on the patio.

Fruits ripen August to September.

The perfect fruit to grow in containers on your patio, and will consistently produce large volumes of tasty fruit.

Plum : Victoria

Britain's best known plum and the most reliable garden variety for both culinary and dessert usage. Being self-fertile it is capable of producing a heavy crop of egg shaped, medium sized fruits.

Makes delicious pies and jams, but we always think they are best eaten straight from the tree in late August.

Plum Victoria is one of the UK's favourite fruit trees, easy to grow and delicious to eat.

Grafted on a 'St Julian' rootstock which is semi-dwarfing, and will produce you a medium sized 2 to 2.5m (7 to 8 foot) tree.

Bred in Great Britain.

Note: The main cause of maggot damage in plums is the caterpillar of the Plum Fruit Moth. To help control this troublesome pest see Fruit Moth Traps..
