A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
We’ve been growing and supplying fruit trees and bushes for over 100 years. We have the widest range of fruit trees in the UK available in both bare root and container form. All trees are lovingly nurtured on our 500-acre Worcestershire nursery and can be delivered or collected from our Tree Shop.
Whether you are looking for apple trees, pear, plum, damson, cherry, or something more unusual, our huge range offers something for every type of garden, from kitchen gardens and vegetable plots to exotic gardens, scented gardens, semi-shade areas and even small patios. We supply both bare root and container / pot grown trees, giving customers flexibility whether planting in autumn/winter or spring/summer. Our experts are always on hand to help you select fruit trees with the right pollination group, flowering months, harvest time and growing habit, ensuring you receive the perfect match for your space, climate, and soil. Many of our trees are self fertile, making them ideal for gardens with limited space. When you buy fruit trees from Frank P Matthews, you aren’t simply purchasing a tree, you’re investing in decades of plant knowledge, care and craftsmanship.
Bringing fruit trees into your outdoor space is one of the most rewarding gardening choices you can make. From early spring blossoms in soft whites and pink, through lush summer foliage, to the abundance of delicious fruits in July, August, September, October and beyond, fruit trees offer interest in every season. Whether you’re dreaming of stepping into your garden to pick your own fruit for eating, cooking, or simply snacking straight from the branch, the pleasure is unlike anything found in the supermarket aisle.
