How to choose your tree

How to choose your tree

The perfect tree for your garden is one that is the right size and type for your garden, suits the position you’ve chosen for it and whose care needs match the time you have to spare. But most importantly, it’s the tree you love most - whether that’s the juiciest apple, the most colourful cherry blossom or the one that brings the most birds to your garden, we’ll help you find it with this easy-to-follow guide.

What's the deal with rootstocks?

What's the deal with rootstocks?

The eventual size of a fruit tree depends on its rootstock. This is the lower part of the tree, which is grafted to a scion (the flowering or fruiting part of the tree) to produce a tree with the best characteristics of both, which grows to a specific size. When choosing a tree, you should check the rootstock to find out what size the tree will grow to. Common apple rootstocks include M27, M9, M26, MM106 and M25. Popular pear rootstocks include Quince A and Quince C. For cherry trees, its usually Colt or Gisela 5. As for plums, look for Pixy or St Julien A (SJA). Peaches and apricots also use SJA.

Getting the best from your tree

Getting the best from your tree

Most trees prefer to be planted in a sunny or partially-shaded spot out of the way of any cold or drying winds, and in well-draining soil. You’ll need to water them regularly until their root systems are established (this takes about a year) but after that, they’ll get most of their needs met by the rain. To keep your tree healthy, tidy and at a manageable size, you’ll probably need to do some once or twice a year - and of course trees love a bit of mulch! Check our individual tree pages to find out how to care for yours, or find out more with our growers’ tips and tricks.

Trees FAQs

What tree should you get?

It depends what you’re looking for! If you want spectacular flowers, then cherry blossoms, crabapples and hawthorns are your best bet. As for amazing autumn colour? Liquidambar, ginkgo and maples hold the key. Do you want your garden to offer more than just a visual aspect? There are all kinds of fruit trees you can consider, including apples, , cherries and plums. There’s huge native trees, compact patio trees and trees with gruesome stories to tell…

How do you plant trees?

Whether you buy a potted or bare root tree, the instructions for planting are very similar. Dig a planting hole twice as wide and as deep as the plant’s rootball. Position your tree in the centre of the hole, then backfill with soil. Firm the soil down with your foot, then give the tree a good watering. Using a stake and tree tie, attach your tree to give it an extra bit of support. Check out our complete guide to planting trees for more information.

What conditions do trees like?

It will vary from tree to tree, but there are some general conditions you can refer back to as a sort of framework when planting a tree. Most trees prefer moist but well-drained soil with good levels of fertility. If your soil is poor, consider amending with some well-rotted manure or compost. Full sun to partial shade suits most trees, while an annual application of slow-release, general fertiliser around the tree’s base can be beneficial.

What’s the difference between bare root and potted trees?

Bare root trees are those that have been lifted from the ground between November and March during the plant’s dormant season. It is sent at this time as just a stem and the root network. The roots are then soaked prior to planting directly in the soil. Potted trees are those that have been grown in soil/compost and will be sent on in that pot. Bare root trees are often cheaper than their potted counterparts, and can be better for the environment.

Why do we grow trees in Air-Pots®?

By growing our trees in innovative Air-Pots®, they develop a healthier, more fibrous network of roots and take to their planting location more quickly and more successfully. They use a technique called air-pruning to develop that root system. Find out more in our comprehensive guide to Air-Pots®.

What trees are native to Britain?

There are a huge number of trees native to Britain, including species of alder, birch, hornbeam, beech, oak, lime, maple, hawthorn, cherry, willow, whitebeam, rowan, yew, hazel, crabapple and elder, to name just a few.
