Frequently Asked Questions

Many fruit trees grow well in compact spaces. Patio-sized apple, pear and plum trees, as well as fig trees in containers, are ideal for smaller gardens. Choose dwarf rootstocks (like M27, M9 or Pixie) for the best results in tight spaces.

Yes. Apples, pears, plums, figs and cherries can all be grown successfully in containers. Choose a large pot (at least 45–50cm), use a soil-based compost, and water regularly during dry spells. Container-grown trees are also perfect for patios and terraces.

A self-fertile fruit tree can pollinate itself and produce fruit without another tree nearby (for example, ‘Stella’ cherry or ‘Conference’ pear). A self-sterile tree needs another compatible tree for pollination. Partially self-fertile trees crop better with a partner but can produce some fruit alone.

Some trees, such as apples and pears, benefit from having a pollination partner in the same flowering group. Others, like Stella cherries, Brown Turkey figs and many modern apple varieties, are self-fertile and fruit well on their own.

Beginners often have success with apple trees (especially disease-resistant varieties), plum trees like Victoria or Pixie, fig trees in sheltered, sunny spots and Conference pears. These are reliable, forgiving and productive in most Suffolk gardens.

Fruit trees can be planted from October to April when they are dormant. Container-grown trees from Woolpit Nurseries can be planted throughout the year, as long as the soil is workable.

Yes — the varieties we stock are carefully chosen for Suffolk’s conditions, providing good yields, strong disease resistance and reliable flowering even in cooler springs.

Most apple, pear and plum trees produce fruit within 2–4 years of planting. Peaches and figs can fruit even sooner — sometimes in year 1–2 if conditions are warm and sheltered.

Expert Guidance for Planting & Growing Fruit Trees

When it comes to planting and caring for your fruit trees, a little planning goes a long way. Our team is happy to advise on planting positions and aftercare so your new orchard gets the best possible start.

1. Choosing the Right Spot: Consider your garden layout and the specific needs of your fruit tree before making a selection. Keep in mind that cross-pollinating trees should be planted relatively close to each other. Also, think strategically to prevent fallen fruit from cluttering paths and decking areas.

2. Optimal Planting Time: For the best start, plant your fruit trees while they’re dormant in winter, before they begin to shoot and bud. Bare-rooted trees should be planted promptly to prevent root drying. Pot-grown trees, on the other hand, can be planted immediately or left in their pots until February. Ensure the roots are well-soaked before planting to prevent dehydration, and when ready, dig a hole deep enough to accommodate all the roots. Cover them with soil and water thoroughly.

Most fruit trees are best planted during the dormant season—typically from mid-November to April — when they are supplied as bare-root trees straight from the open ground. This is an ideal time for planting, as it allows the trees to establish before the spring growth spurt. If you’re looking to plant later in the season, many varieties are also available as pot-grown trees in late spring and summer, giving you flexibility in your planting schedule. Just remember, whether you’re planting a bare-root or pot-grown tree, prompt attention to their needs right after purchase will set them up for years of fruitful growth.

3. Considerate Pollination and Weather Conditions: For a bountiful harvest, understand the pollination needs of your fruit trees. Except for self-fertile varieties, most rely on a nearby partner tree within the same group and the industrious efforts of insect pollinators. Be mindful of the weather, ensuring your trees receive the right conditions for pollination.

4. Soil Knowledge for Adequate Watering: Knowing your soil type is crucial for maintaining optimal water levels for your fruit trees. Mulching with compost or manure in the autumn is a fantastic way to improve water retention, especially for mature apple trees.

5. Pruning for Health and Vigor: Pruning is the secret to happy and healthy fruit trees. During winter, trim branches to maintain tree strength, shape, and eliminate any overlaps. A well-pruned tree is a resilient tree.

6. Thinning for Quality Over Quantity: While the sight of numerous fruits may be tempting, thinning overcrowded branches is essential. This not only enhances fruit quality but also prevents branches from becoming overloaded and damaged. Quality over quantity ensures a healthier harvest.

Remember, every garden is unique, and each fruit tree requires tailored care. By following these guidelines, you’re on your way to a thriving orchard.
