Fruit Trees for Juice

Whether planted as a small farm shop operation, pick your own, or major commercial enterprise, juice can either be a bonus biproduct or the main reason for planting an orchard. There are some wonderful fruit trees for juice. We have a range of varieties that produce delicious juices of many different flavours. Some even have an attractive, naturally red/pink colour.

Some fruit trees are renowned for projecting an excellent juice in both flavour and output. Juice extraction from dessert apples can be roughly 850/900 litres per ton.
