Title: Ordered the first half of my orchard
Post by: Al37 on January 14, 2009, 22:04:01

I bit the bullet today and ordered eight fruit trees for my orchard. Some will be in pots and some will be bear root.
Apples will be
James greave
Katey
bramley
newton wonder
Then there will be
Merry weather damson
Stella cherry
Victoria plum
and conference pear.
That will keep me busy for a day :D
All of these will be grown naturally but I will also be getting others to grow as cordons.

I have most of them and only put them in about a month or so ago, they are only small (5-6')so the first year will be just for trimming.

Where did you order them from and what age/size are they?

They will be delivered on or around the 22nd :D
