If you've always fancied having your own little orchard, this collection gives you four favourite fruit trees in one go. Plant them together or find each one a sunny spot around the garden, then enjoy spring blossom followed by a succession of cherries, plums, pears and apples as the seasons roll on. Better still, all four can produce fruit without needing a separate pollination partner.
Your collection includes:
Plum 'Victoria' – One of Britain's best-loved plums, producing generous crops of juicy, red-flushed fruit with sweet golden-yellow flesh. Delicious picked straight from the tree and equally good for cooking.
Pear 'Conference' – A classic British favourite, producing long, juicy pears with sweet, fine-textured flesh. A reliable cropper that's well suited to UK gardens.
Cherry 'Stella' – Few things beat picking a ripe cherry straight from your own tree. 'Stella' produces large, sweet, dark-red cherries and holds an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Apple 'Braeburn' – Crisp, juicy apples with that familiar balance of sweetness and refreshing sharpness. A late-season favourite that's well worth waiting for.
With fruit ripening at different times, you won't get everything at once either. Look forward to cherries in July, plums from August, pears from September and apples into November – giving you a succession of homegrown fruit from summer right through to late autumn.
