Dwarf Patio Fruit Trees Collection - Apricot, Cherry & Peach
Availability: Out of stock
This fantastic fruit tree collection is a great way to acquire three of the most popular 'stone' fruit varieties around at an amazing price that you simply will not find elsewhere. The quality of our heavy grade trees is really impressive, and they will of course grow equally well in open ground as well as larger planters. Long term, we recommend a half-barrel sized planter and regular feeding and watering, but they can go into approx 10 litre containers on delivery before being moved on.
They are supplied as bare rooted heavy grade trees, and could even flower and fruit the year of delivery, although we recommend not letting them crop for the first year - this means even bigger crops in future season.
In your collection you will receive:
Apricot - perfect for producing your own sun drenched Apricots at home, planted in a large container or even a garden border. The tree is grafted on a special rootstock that ensures a compact tree and masses of delicious Apricots, the fruits can be grow here in the UK successfully with these trees, particularly if you can offer a warm south or west facing aspect.. Self-fertile creamy-pink blossoms will appear in Spring to be followed by masses of good sized, sweet and juicy Apricots in summer. No pruning is needed and the trees will reach an eventual height of 1.5-2 metres tall.
