Description
Apple and Pear Family Collection
An entire orchard on just one tree! Family fruit trees have three different varieties grafted onto one stem, which will pollinate each other and crop at different times to extend the picking season. Perfect for the smaller garden with room for only one tree; and even suited to growing in a large patio container (holding at least 30 litres of compost). Each tree will include a balanced mix of varieties with similar growth and vigour, and importantly offer very good pollination to ensure fruit on each variety each year. Each variety will be a popular eating apple or pear – we can’t say exactly which varieties will be included at the time of ordering, but their exact names will be revealed on delivery!

Height and spread if not containerised: 4m (13′).Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.Estimated time to best yields: 5 years.Collection comprises 1 family apple tree and 1 family pear.
