Ornamental Orchard Collection

Product Description

Not only will these trees provide a bounty of fruit but they will also bring some ornamental decoration into the garden. Crab Apple John Downie
- Not only is this upright apple variety highly ornamental in the garden giving masses of soft pink blossom in spring but it's an excellent pollinator for other apples. The yellow/orange fruits of John Downie are large for a crab & make the finest, clear crab apple jelly. Delicious eaten with meats & cheeses or just spread on buttery toast! RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Pollination group 3. Quince Vranja
- The large, sweet, pear-shaped fruits of Vranja ripen in mid-autumn & make excellent jellies & preserves. Alternatively, you'll find a few slices in an apple pie will improve it immeasurably! The plants themselves are highly decorative trained into a fan against a wall, the blossom is very attractive, & they make ideal pollinators for pears. Self-fertile. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Grown on Quince A rootstock. Pollination group 4. Nut Sweet Almond
- Beautiful spring flowers Introduced in the 18th century this variety is valuable as much for the beauty of its early spring flowers as for its fruit which needs a hot summer to develop properly. Self-fertile Cherry Summer Sun
- Pretty blossom in early spring will develop in late July, into succulent plump cherries. The cherries are delicious picked fresh from the tree or can be harvested & prepared for that special dessert. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Pollination group 5. Given that cherries are such a well loved fruit, it's surprising that they are not more widely grown in our gardens. Grown on Colt rootstock, giving a very productive tree with good fruit size, but compact growth so it can be grown in a small space, either free-standing or trained against a wall or fence.
