Apples
Apple trees provide one of the most reliable ways in which to grow fruit in your garden. While there are thousands of different varieties, we have in stock the most popular, reliable and tasty varieties. Some of our personal favorites include, Cox's, Katy and the aptly named Scrumptious.
PlumsA real favourite amongst gardeners, plum trees are a good hardy fruit tree that produce delicious fruits for both cooking and eating. Varieties that we have had particular success with include, Czar, Opal and the old favourite, Victoria.
PearsPear trees, like apples, have long been a favourite with gardeners in the UK. For reliable cropping, especially in the north east of Scotland, we would recommend varieties whose origins were derived in the UK. Some of our favorites include, Conference, Concorde and Invincible.
BlueberriesBlueberries are on of our favourite forms of fruit. Not only do they give a tasty crop of fruit, they also provide the garden with a superb splash of colour. In the autumn the foliage turns a vivid red and can be used as an autumn interest shrub as much as it can be used as a fruit bush, however they will require to be planted in ericaceous soil. Popular varieties include, Patriot, Bluecrop and Darrow.
Cherries For all those with a sweet tooth why not try growing cherries. Although there are many varieties to choose from, we have found there to be some more successful than others. Summer Sun, Stella and Sunbrust are all excellent self-fertile varieties, while the Morello Cherries make excellent cooking cherries.
