They’re so short the Apples grow at the bottom of the tree

The clue's in the name 'Dwarf Trees'. The height and vigour of all fruit trees is determined by the rootstock that each variety is grafted on to. For vigorous tall growing apple trees MM106 is recommended. Prepacks don't normally give such details and often mis identify varieties too. I bought three prepacks a few years ago and only one of them was accurately named. No idea what the other two are but very poor quality fruit after about four years. Best to buy from a garden centre or fruit nursery but then they don't come cheap

I love a bargain, (and I have a couple of cheap fruit trees) but for £20-£25 you can buy a good quality apple/pear tree direct from a british nursery bare root in winter. They'll have a wide range of varieties and rootstocks.
Dwarf trees might do well down south but in colder/windier places they might struggle

You haven’t been here in the South recently have you ?!

If you aren't a keen gardener, bear in mind that a "dwarf" pear tree will still get to 3 metres tall. The only truly small one is the dwarf cherry. The apple will be about 2 metres.

I have two cherry ones bought last year, they are just in flower at the moment. They are just over 1.5m at the moment, after one year.
Being so small you don't get too much fruit on them but still, they look great!!!

The label strangely says 'outdoor'. Do they think people would otherwise grow these trees on the window sill ?

They sell them next to the indoor plants so it just distinguishes between the two.

Good selection - Plums Opal & Oulins on St. Julien A. Conference pear on rootstock I can't remember & Kordia cherry on PL 63 rootstock
26th Apr
bad news for kordia, for me anyway "This variety is not self-fertile".
26th Apr
I went to about half a dozen Lidls today, not a single one had any cherry trees!

Home Bargains sometimes have them. Asda had pre pack fruit trees last week too.

Do these trees produce bruised and rotting fruit like they sell in store??
26th Apr
The plums do if you don't pick them immediately they're ripe otherwise they come squishy, rotting and with free wasps
25th Apr
got a plum tree today
25th Apr
Any good, anyone?
25th Apr

Peach? Been looking for one but don't want to pay £50+
25th Apr
No Peach trees

Do these say dwarf on the label? Mine has some but no mention of dwarf size?

Prunus Avium 'Regina' should grow to about 4 metres in the first 10 years

I suppose these dwrarf rooting trees may also be suitable for bonsai.

I bought a Regina Cherry the other day. Good deal this.

Regina Cherry - think I've seen her on RuPaul

Just do your research before buying. I got some similar from Co-Op last year, but some varieties need pollination from other trees of certain varieties.

E.G. The one posted by LauraBow above:

This cherry requires a pollinating partner from another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 4, however it is possible to use one from group 3 as well.

that is right these are not self pollinating, but that is usually not a problem for most of UK. These are several pollinating varieties in hedgegrows and the bees in spring ensure the needful is done.

Is the fruit edible if it’s that tiny ?

The Fruits are normal size, it is the tree that is dwarf (relative to a normal tree). These are intended for small spaces and pots.

Just bought a "summered" apple variety today.

Can anyone confirm, if I definitely need another one to cross pollinate?
30th Apr
Requires a group 1, 2 or 3 pollinator

When buying fruit trees, if you are interested in eating the fruits (some just like it for ornamental purposes), it is best to buy from good nurseries. Not all are expensive. Important things to check that you can't for these and similar ones sold from Tesco etc...
1. Root stock ( dwarf has very lose definitions - so you need to check properly what is the rootstock - any nursery will clearly label it along with expected height and time to maturity or will tell you if you ask). Large trees take 10 years or so to reach maturity and are also too high for most people to harvest. They also require good knowledge of pruning and continuous pruning.
2. Pollination type - if the variety is not self-pollinated, then you will rarely get any fruit unless you (or next door neighbours) have other varieties that are suitable cross-pollinators.
3. Disease resistance - nothing worse than seeing a lovely bloom and young fruit and then suddenly all crop destroyed by disease.
After spending the effort and wait of 5-8 years and realising it was a waste of time, would be really sad.
