TOP FRUIT 

All our Fruit Trees and Bushes are now in stock including Traditional Irish Apples for AEOS and REPS4 marked A and *
Supplies of these are limited so early booking is advisable.

Rootstocks: This year our Apple trees are on a selection of  M26 (small tree) and MM106 (Larger tree especially suitable for poor ground). 
Limited numbers of Old Irish apples are also available on MM111 for larger trees.
We also can offer some of our old Irish apples on M27 for the smaller garden, 1 yr olds only.

The relative vigour of each variety affects the eventual size and crop of the cultivar. For notes on apple planting, pruning and rootstocks, see here

Apples marked A are suitable for planting under  AEOS & REPS4 (Ireland) and  C are suitable under  CMS (Northern Ireland). These trees are all 1yr olds only on MM106 or MM111 as specified by AEOS, REPS4 or CMS.  ( * from 2 litre pots)  Sorry, no 2yr old Old Irish apple trees

Most apples need a pollinator belonging to the same group or to the group immediately above or below it.

sf = self-fertile psf = partially self-fertile tp = tip-bearer * = two different pollinators needed.

Quantity Discount: Please deduct €2 from individual prices when buying 10 or more grafted fruit trees.Stocks can run out quickly. Please give 2nd. choice or your tel.no. so we can discuss possible alternatives
