Are you longing to grow a variety of delicious fruits in your garden, but worried about limited space? Look no further than our selection of family fruit trees, the ideal solution for compact gardens and novice fruit growers alike.

 

Family fruit trees are ideal for small gardens where there is only room for a single tree. They consist of two (duo trees) or three compatible varieties grafted onto one tree, allowing you to grow several different varieties in a relatively small amount of space. The cultivars are carefully selected to cross-pollinate with one another so that they all get a good fruit set. Family trees are grafted onto semi-dwarfing rootstocks. They are supplied as bare-rooted, two year old trees and are approximately 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) tall (including the roots) on despatch. Trees are available from late November/December to late April.

 

What are family fruit trees?

Family fruit trees combine two or three compatible fruit varieties on a single tree. These ingenious creations allow you to cultivate multiple cultivars in the space typically required for just one tree. They’re particularly well-suited for:

  • Small gardens.
  • Novice fruit growers.
  • Those seeking to grow several different varieties without the commitment to planting multiple trees.

 

Why choose family fruit trees?

  • Space-saving: Perfect for urban gardens or areas with limited planting space.
  • Variety: Enjoy different fruits from a single tree.
  • Cross-pollination: Cultivars are carefully selected to ensure optimal fruit set.
  • Convenience: Harvest different varieties without maintaining separate trees.
