The trees included in this mixed orchard collection are bare root one year old maidens on semi vigorous rootstock. Their eventual height can reach 3-4m depending on soil conditions and climate. As a bare root tree they will be despatched between November and March when they are dormant and will need pruning to the shape you require when planting. For information on how to prune click here.
