ApplesAdam’s Our aim is to grow and supply quality
fruit trees at competitive prices
As a family business we have been growing and supplying thousands of apple trees to orchards, farms, nurseries, and gardens every year since 1994. We grow over 130 different varieties of apple trees, most we supply as bare-root maidens, but also 2 year old trees. Fruit trees in pots are available year round to collect from the nursery. We also grow and supply a broad range of other tree fruit and soft fruit.
Much of our business is now by recommendation, and many of our customers, from all over the British Isles and Europe return year after year. They say our trees grow well. All our trees are grown on certified rootstocks and are inspected twice a year by DEFRA plant inspectors giving us fireblight buffer zone status.
We are happy to help with advice for your orchard.

POllinAtiOn Heavier crops are obtained when apples are pollinated by another variety of apple. This occurs best when flowering periods coincide or overlap, to achieve this choose varieties with the same or adjacent flowering periods. For example all varieties in group 3 will pollinate but they will also pollinate with groups 4 and 2, but not 1 and 5.
We offer four varieties of crab apples (Evereste, John Downie, Red Sentinel, Profusion) these flower freely and will increase fruiting in your orchard. We recommend one crab apple to every 40 fruiting apple trees. ROOtstOCKs fOR APPles All our apple trees are grafted onto a rootstock. The rootstock of an apple tree will determine how tall it will grow and also how quickly it will come into cropping after planting.the rootstocks we supply are;mm106 – Half standard – orchard and garden use – Growing to 4-5 metres on maturity. Trees start cropping in two years and are in full cropping after 5-6 years. These can be grown as a bush tree or trained as cordons or espaliers. Most fruit can be picked from the ground, the rest by stepladder. m25 – standard – farm use – Growing to 7-10 metres plus, a vigorous rootstock used to grow the traditional standard apple tree. Come into cropping after five years. Generally recommended by DEFRA for stewardship schemes. A higher canopy allows grazing, but stock guards are advisable. M9 – Dwarf – Ideal on a patio also used for intensive orchards – Growing to 2-3 metres - On good soil, needs permanent staking. Good for containers in small gardens.

They can be grown in a container with a peat based compost, or leaf mould mixed with your garden soil. Full sun and moisture are also preferred.They require no annual pruning and heavy crops are possible if you can put a net over the bushes to protect from the birds. No top and tailing required in fact no stalks. Good for jam, muffins, pies, eating fresh or freezing. Home grown blueberries have more flavour as they ripen on the bush. They have the greatest number and concentration of anti-oxidants of any fruit and regular eating is supposed to extend life expectancy. No guarantees.

1. What is the recommended spacing for fruit trees?
This is determined by the rootstock:
Apple trees on MM106 half standard, 4-5 metres, 200 trees per acre, 500/hectare, the same for pears, cherries, plums.
Apple trees on M25 standards, 8-10 metres, 40-50 trees per acre, 100-125/hectare.
Always allow more space rather than less, think about grass management when the orchard is mature. Fruit trees grow bigger on clay soils and less on sandy soils.
2. How big will my trees be on arrival?Our trees are vigorous, they should be between 4-6 feet tall, 1.2-1.8 metres, on dispatch. They may be pruned before sending
3. How tall will the trees grow?This is determined by the rootstock, soil type and variety.
MM106, Colt, St. Julien, Quince C – 12-15 feet, 4-5 metres.
M25 – 25-30 feet, 8-10 metres.
4. How should I treat my trees on arrival?
We package the trees carefully to prevent them drying out and being damaged in transit.
If you are not ready to plant them for a few days keep them somewhere cool and open the packaging a little, keep the roots wrapped. They can be stored like this for 7-10 days but make sure the roots are moist to touch not dry.
If the ground is too wet or frozen it is best to delay planting and heel the plants in soil or moist straw. Plant by mid-March.
5. How long will i have to wait to get fruit?
Half standards, MM106 rootstock will crop in two years.
Full standards, M25 rootstock will need to form a crown before cropping, this will take 3-5 years. Cropping will begin in year 5.
6. Should the trees be pruned in the first year?
Maiden trees, that is one year old trees should be pruned shortly after planting before they come into leaf.
Do this by reducing the growth by 20-30cm to a bud or to 1.0 metre when planted and pruned. This pruning will encourage cropping branches lower down the tree.
For more advice on pruning see pruning section on our website www.adamsappletress.co.uk
8. Can orders be collected?You are welcome to collect from the nursery but please give us a couple of days notice.
9. When will my trees arrive?For plants in pots like blueberries we send out round the year.
We send most bare-root tree orders out between January and March though trade orders and those intended for christmas presents get sent before Christmas. We do contact you by phone or email to advise when your order is being sent. You can arrange to have your order left in a safe place if you are not expecting to be in when the delivery arrives.
10. When is the best time to place an order?
Orders can be placed throughout the year. We tend to sell out of many varieties by Christmas, so if you require particular varieties it is best to order early. We have trees in pots year round to collect from the nursery.
