The Highlights

Among the oldest cultivated plants, going back 2000 years
Introduced to Europe in the 1780s
Originating from temperate regions in China and Japan, the tree is well suited to the British climate
Produces countless apple-sized fruits when mature
Attracts wildlife, such as birds
Fruit needs to be left to ripen otherwise it will be very astringent
Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
