The south west midlands has a rich heritage as a fruit growing area and as a result many Worcestershire apple varieties as well as plums and pears have arisen. Some have become widely well known i.e. Worcester Pearmain, William Crump. Others are less well known, but still of good quality.
Below are offered a range of apple trees originating in Worcestershire along with a few from neighbouring counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. Some of these varieties have been supersceded by more well known varieties but some have never become noted despite being worthy of growing. Read below and visit the Worcestershire Orchards website for more information on the county’s orchard heritage.
Most trees are offered on more vigorous M25 rootstocks. Some are available on smaller semi-dwarfing M26 rootstocks. Some varieties on M25 are available as one year ‘maidens’ & two year ‘straight leader’ trees. The latter are best collected, being taller.
Discount information: 5% on 5+ trees, 10% on 10+ trees. Delivery cost: based on quantity ordered. See the How to Order page for more details.
