Hello all
I was consider buying a range of upright minarette trees.
They work our expensive, but thought they might be ideal for a small garden.
They come as apples, pears,plums and cherrys
Looking at the pictures it looks like a fully developed tree would produce about 15 apples or pears each. No pictures of plums or cherrys.
Has anyone any experience of these?
we only planted our minarettes last year, we got 2 apples last year so, fingers crossed ;D
I've had a mini orchard of Apples and pears in for about 12 years and they are doing well but the cherry is pathetic... only about twenty four on a six foot stick!
;D
our cherry did really well last year, it's three years old and we keep it down to 7 feet tall ;D
I've ordered two proper cherries to fan against my big wall!
;D
I've got two minarette apples and one pear, they've been in for about 3 years now and each year the crop seems to be improving. Obviously they're never going to give massive yields, but they're good for my small garden.
Cheers,
Rob ;)
ken muir is having a spring sale which includes minarette trees there worth a try
There was a discussion on these not long ago...
