apple trees
Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.


To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.


I now people with apple trees in their gardens, and they only get a crop in late September, and have to eat them really quickly. I live in England, and we can still be fresh english apples here, well into the spring (after that they start coming from new zealand).

    Many apples that we purchase are actually held in cold storage for months before they ship to the store. Apples are a fruit that holds up well to cold storage so many growers utilize that to provide us with their fruit year round.
