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 want to sell the apples from our tree at the farmers market next year. I don’t know what variety they are but the turn completely red when ripe and are very crisp and delicious. How should I sell them next year? By the pound? By the each? I was thinking of checking the price at the supermarket and marking it up by 30-50% from there. What do you think?

    Don is absolutely right. I’m only adding my two cents. Suppose you sell for the same price as your competitor, or even a little higher. You might set yourself apart by giving samples. Have freshly cut apple slices for people to try – maybe tiny apple tarts or apple muffins, just something small and yummy to let people know how tasty your apples are. Good luck!

    It doesn’t really matter what we think, what matters is, how much will your customers pay? You are really competing with everyone else that’s selling apples, too. Your grocery store might not sell that many, and they have lots of customers coming through constantly, while you have a whole trees worth to sell, and you only sell at the farmers market on occasions.
    Even the biggest companies scratch their heads over pricing, to catch the right balance. If you price your apples too high, people won’t buy them, or perhaps they’ll only buy a few. If you price your apples too low, people might clean you out in a hurry, but you won’t make any money. The business decision here is to place your price somewhere in the middle, at the point that’s most profitable for you versus the hours it takes to do it.
    Or, look at what your competitors are charging, and copy that.
