Fruit
What could be nicer than growing and harvesting your own fruit? Eating it, of course! We offer a comprehensive range of apples, pears, plums, berries, nuts, and plenty of other edibles. In addition, we have a growing collection of what we like to call 'unusual edibles,' which are rarer fruits for the Irish climate (read up, some require special care!).
Bareroot fruit | December to March
Most of our fruit is sold in bareroot form only from December to March. This includes the majority of our fruit trees, fruit bushes, cane fruits, soft fruits, roots (asparagus, rhubarb, etc.), and more. You can learn more about getting started growing fruit as well as the differences between bareroot and potted plants in our advice section.
Potted fruit | all year round
Potted fruit and herbs are available throughout the rest of the year, but the best selection, and the best time to plant, is in spring (April to June). Outside of these times our selection is more limited.
