Hi; Can anyone guide.
We live in the southeast and have a medium size garden.
We were looking at planting some 3-4 fruit trees and needed some guidance.
-which trees to select. We were looking at Pear,plum, cherry and grape.
-Is this month suitable or which is the correct month to do the planting.
-Any guidance where we can buy these trees at a good value for money.


Try
http://www.keepers-nursery.co.uk

They sell bare rooted trees and have loads, there also near to you. I got mine from them (plum jubileum , apple charles ross)

Though the charles ross was an error (ordered a james grieve, but was happy with it so kept it)

The apple is doing really well, the plums a bit stressed.

Ask the nursery for advice. If youve got room for a few trees Id have a couple of safe bets (apples) and whichever fruit you like best (plum, cherry, i could quite happily eat them till they come out of my ears) I shall probably try and grow a cherry as a fan next.
