  • 'Conference' Pear, the nation's favourite, with juicy, aromatic fruit (harvest: September to October)
  • 'Victoria' Plum reliably boasts heavy crops of sumptuous, juicy plums which are just as good baked into desserts (like plum crumble) as they are eaten fresh from the tree (harvest: July to September)

  • These trees all exhibit spectacular spring blossom and are highly beneficial to pollinators like bees and butterflies.

What to expect

Supplied as

Bare Root
These trees are supplied as “bare roots” meaning that the roots of the trees are established below the ground but not actively growing (dormant) between November and March. As bare roots are stored without any soil or pot, they will easily settle themselves when in contact with soil in your garden. Don't worry if your tree is not showing any sign of growth above the ground come April, as it's still in the dormant phase and will soon explode into life.

130-150cm inc. roots
Your trees will arrive as bare root plants at a height of 130-150cm.

Best plants you will ever get online

I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Satisfied customer

Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
