Okay, I'm not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination but hubby has asked me if they are self-pollenating?
Help please!
YES, they all are.
An exceptional collection, these fruit trees are great value for money when compared to the usual prices in mail order catalogues and garden centers.
All trees are grafted onto dwarf rootstocks which will restrict the growing height to 6-7 feet – the perfect height for picking and growing in small gardens or in pots on patios and balconies. Due to the dwarf rootstock they need very little pruning – only prune dead, diseased or crossing branches and for shape if required.
Crops from all summer long for 50 years or more.

1 x Apple Braeburn Tree
1 x Pear Conference Tree
Braeburn Apple: This variety is renown for their massive cropping –these trees will yield several pounds of juicy, crisp, mouth-watering fruit, and thereafter the crop size just gets bigger and bigger every year. They are ready to enjoy from September onwards, and if stored in a cool place will last up to three months. Home freezing will allow you to savour that delicious Braeburn flavour all year round.
Conference Pear: Everyone knows that ripe juicy British pears are one of the most succulent fruits you can eat. The ‘Conference’ variety has a flavour all of its own that is simply sublime. Once established your tree can produce up to 100 lbs of delicious fruit every year. You can pick your fruit whilst still hard from mid-September to store in a cool place - then allow them to ripen in a bowl at room temperature as required. Alternatively just leave them to ripen naturally on the tree during October.
Victoria Plum : Once tasted, never forgotten. Our Victoria Plum tree is a popular classic due to its plump, sweet and juicy fruits and bumper crops year upon year. You can expect your tree to be laden with up to 100 lbs of fruit for the next 30 years and beyond. Harvest from late-July onwards, Victorias are ideal for jams, preserves and pies, or if kept in a freezer you can enjoy these beauties all the year round.
Stella Cherry: This is the most popular British dessert cherry with large, sweet, juicy fruit that are almost black once ripened. Ideal for the table or eating straight off the tree. Stella is a proven winner, a heavy and reliable cropper, with an expected yield of up to 10lbs of delicious fruit each season from the third year onwards.
