Fruit Trees needed
For Top Fruit or Soft Fruit I have always used Blackmoor Nursuries at Liss
(Hants) and selected & collected my own. You will find them on the web and they are not too far from Reading D "Ch. Rajinder Nijjhar Jatt" wrote in message ...

Jatt writes Hi, I shall need fruit trees in the future to put in my backyard and would appreciate which Nursery is the best. I live in Reading, Berkshire. First of all, when you say a backyard in Reading, do you actually mean just that, or are you using 'backyard' in the American sense to refer to a garden at the back of your house? If the former, will it really be suitable for growing fruit trees, unless they are dwarf varieties in tubs? If the latter, how big is the garden, because that affects the size of trees you can safely grow in it? And what type of fruit trees do you require? One place that springs to mind is the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale Horticultural Trust, Faversham, Kent. Tel: 01795 535462 or 535286. They have a sample of every fruit tree you can think of. A fairly local nursery is Bernwode Plants, Kingswood Lane, Ludgershall, Bucks HP18 9RB. Tel: 0844 237415. E-mail: . Web site: www.bernwodeplants.co.uk. They have a very comprehensive catalogue which costs £1. -- Roy Bailey West Berkshire. |

Don't buy those straggling things sold by the normal garden centres., they're for big gardens or orchards. You need bushes which have been grafted or - (sometimes)- budded on dwarfing rootstock. There's a name for it but I've forgotten it,- M 26 or summat like that. You can buy them from the firms like Brogdale, (which - If I remember correctly, used to be the national fruit research centre funded by the Government until they withdrew the funding to save money and flogged it off to private ownership.) Which firm, - mind you,- does a great job. I have dealt with them in my small way. You have to have patience because you are not going to get any fruit the week after you've planted them. Even a year or four is optimistic. If you want to grow them in big tubs in the backyard of a terraced house and you don't live on the south coast of Kent try something else, er.., like elephant training. Sorry but that's the way it is. In the gardening game you have to be cruel to be kind. (:^). -- Doug. |
