Our Feedback
Only the second time I have used your company but when I wanted to increase my small orchard by just one tree I thought of you immediately. I was not disappointed. Immediate response to my question followed by very fast delivery of a healthy tree. I will certainly recommend you to my neighbours when they want something just that little bit better for the garden.

Extremely prolific and heavy yielding.
Plant one or two near your apple trees, especially non self fertile varieties, to ensure good fruit set.
