Apple Braeburn Bare Root Fruit Tree

It's still growing,

Fantastic trees at an amazing price. Arrived fairly well packaged, but the plum has more horizontal branches than the apple and pear, and all its branches had snapped in transit, which was disappointing but not the end of the world. I ordered them in April to avoid the frost, so they arrived as other trees were blossoming, and initially looked sad and bald when potted up in big pots in my yard. However, within two weeks they showed varying signs of life, and very quickly all three had actual leaves. Now, end of May, the plum tree even has some blossom on it (only 4 flower heads, but l am very proud!!), the pear is looking bushy and magnificent, and although the apple is slower to grow, it is healthy, happy and plodding along nicely. I can’t wait to see how they all develop over the next few years, and look forward to our first crops! I am SO pleased I ordered these, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

*EDIT 31 March 2022 - 1 Year Later: The pear tree and apple tree are doing well. The pear, in particular, is covered in white blossom and is gorgeous. The plum tree, however, is dead. Judging from others' reviews, the plum bare root being supplied isn't of good quality.* We bought these three trees at the end of March and planted them in 40l tubs. There were no instructions included, but the trees were well packaged and arrived promptly. The apple is thriving with leaves all over and the pear is beginning to bud, but the plum is showing no signs of life. We're hoping it is still just establishing its root system and will eventually spring into life. I will update this review if that happens. Overall, 3 trees for £30 was a good deal. I just hope the plum is alive!

Great sized fruit trees, absolutely fantastic value for money. Arrived bare root and in great condition. Thank you.

I followed all that advice regarding the planting and after care of these root stock fruit trees. While the apple and pear trees are flourishing the plum tree seems to be dying off. I particularly wanted this three tree selection as you do not always get the option of a plum tree and not the usual cherry

Growing well now

I ordered this mini "orchard" last year. The trees I ordered, and thought I had received, were - one apple, one pear and one plum. I love Victoria plums, so was looking forward to growing my own. As the photos show, these are not the "plums" I expected! Instead, though labelled 'Victoria Plum' what grew were very sour (maybe cooking?) cherries!! I know this complaint seems very delayed, but last year the trees just got rooted. This year neither the apple nor pear tree blossomed - so no fruits there. So the only fruit yielded from my "mini orchard" were very sour cherries on my Victoria Plam tree!! (I'm not sure that even ONE star is really deserved!)

The trees arrived very well packed and very healthy, fantastic quality trees. Much better than expected for the price .only slight problem they are not minature ,!!! these will be full size trees. I had to buy large sized pots ( already had pots for mini trees ) but because the quality was so good they still have a five star rating.
