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 have carefully curated a wonderful range of trees suitable for small spaces. All of these trees are naturally small varieties or have been grafted onto dwarf rootstocks to control their size. We have an array of fruit and ornamental trees suitable for small spaces and some varieties are available in bare root form too.
Please Note: Where patio form is not available be sure to select the correct rootstock. More information on rootstocks can be found here.
