Trees in September
Trees: Fruit and Ornamental
Our new deliveries of fruit trees arrives in Early September: we have an amazing range of apples, pears, cherries, crab apples and plums. September and October are the ideal months to plant trees while soil is still warm.
Apple Trees
September is the ideal month to plant apple trees and the new season's stock arrives on September 1st. Our trees are grown by the best fruit tree grower in England, Frank Matthews and the trees arrive in perfect condition each autumn. The selection is chosen by Kenneth Cox as the best range of varieties for Scottish conditions: where possible with resistance to scab disease and should fruit heavily each year. Both eaters and cookers are grown. For a full sized tree chose fruit on a M106 rootstock. If you want a smaller tree, chose fruit on M26. We dont recommend the very dwarf rootstocks as they produce rather weak trees which need to be staked and sheltered. Better to plant a more vigorous tree and prune it to keep it in bounds.
Fruit Trees cherries
Cherries are best grown on a wall or fence so you can net them against birds which tend to strip the trees of fruit before they are ripe enough for humans. Plant cherries in a sheltered sunny site and you should get lots of fruit. All the ones we sell are self fertile so you only need one.
Ornamental Trees
Our new deliveries of trees arrives in early September: we have an amazing range of Acer (maples), flowering cherries, crab apples, rowans (Sorbus) and lots more. September and October are the ideal months to plant trees while soil is still warm.
