This plant list is compiled for dial-up users, please use the printed order form to send in an order to us. An online plant list and order form (file about 1Mb) is available here.
Please note that we are a mail-order nursery only - we are not open to the public. We may, however, be able to supply plants for collection to local customers by arrangement.
Most
of our
plants are field grown, and are sent bare-rooted in autumn and
winter only.
We are again offering this year mycorrhizal inoculant to use when planting your trees and bushes. These are spores of beneficial fungi which work in symbiosis with plant roots and aid the plants significantly in terms of disease resistance, drought resistance and general health.
Most
of our unusual plants are grown in small quantities only, so for these you are
advised to order early, as by autumn we start to sell out of some species.
Some unusual plants are not available every season.
We can always take pre-orders (without payment) for plants we don’t
have available at present.
Stock levels
For each
plant or variety, if we have it in stock (usually for autumn
or winter delivery) then a
figure is quoted which is our stock level - eg. "In stock (20)".
More stock may be added as the summer progresses - it is not always
easy to know in June what will be ready in winter!
If you require more plants than shown in stock, please email us with your requirements as we can sometimes obtain more stock if needed. You can always email us at mail@agroforestry.co.uk to check on availability in case you need to order substitutes.
Plant species list
Varieties of fruit trees and bushes and nut trees are listed first - you can use the shortcuts on the left for fast navigation.
Most of our stock consists of
disease-resistant varieties which are easy to grow and do well grown
organically.
Bare rooted fruit trees and
bushes are usually sent out from late November until mid March.
Varieties marked * are
protected by plant breeder’s rights.
All bare root maidens or two year old trees on M27, M26, or MM106 rootstock.
M27 is very dwarfing, making a
tree about 1.5-2 m (5-6½ ft) high. Requires
staking where exposed and good growing conditions.
M26 is a useful all-round
semi-dwarf rootstock, making a bush tree growing 2.5-3.5 m (8-12 ft) high, also
good for cordons. Requires staking
for the first few years.
MM106
is slightly more vigorous than M26, making a bush or half standard around 4 m (13 ft) high, also good for cordons. Doesn’t
usually need staking.
Unless self-fertile, all
varieties require cross pollination; choose a variety with the same or an
adjacent flower group (eg. ‘B’ in column ‘fg’ will be pollinated by A, B
or C).

In addition to a few ornamental cultivars, we are
offering a selection of European and American elder cultivars which have been
selected for their good fruiting ability and fruit size and quality. If flowers
are the crop, then they (of course) produce extra large crops of flowers too.
European elders come from Denmark, Norway, Eastern Europe and England and are
grown commercially in several countries. Plants
are supplied as bare-rooted, 30-60 cm plants, price £7.00 each.
American elderberry, Sambucus canadensis is a large suckering shrub growing 2-3 m (6-10 ft) high, with very large flower heads. Not self-fertile, and rarely cross-pollinating with the European elder (as the latter flowers before it), so if one of these selections is grown alone it flowers non-stop from late July until November. This is ideal if the flowers are the crop required; the flowers can be used much like those of the European elder, ie can be cooked - dipped in batter and fried - or soaked in water to make a refreshing drink, or made into wine. With pollination, fruits are produced which can be used just like those of the native elder - for wine or cooked etc. A superb plant which grows in most sites in sun or part shade; very hardy but stems often die off, resprouting from the ground. Plants are supplied as bare-rooted, 30-60 cm plants.

Most
chestnut varieties require cross pollination for a good crop – use one of
the pollinators listed in the table below.
These varieties should start fruiting 2-4 years after planting.
Marrons bear single nuts within the seeds, châtaignes bear multiple
nuts in one seed separated by a papery inner shell. The hybrids are Japanese-European crosses made in
France with resistance to ink disease and are heavier cropping. Our most highly recommended varieties are Belle Epine, Bouche
de Betizac, Bournette, Marigoule, Marlhac and Precoce Migoule.
For a single tree, plant Marigoule.

European
delivery charges
Note:
we send out plants with a ‘plant passport’ which enables them to be
sent anywhere in the EU, plus Switzerland. We have “fireblight buffer zone status” and thus are able
to send apples, pears, hawthorns, medlars etc. to areas and countries
free of fireblight.
European
deliveries (apart from those to Ireland) necessitate trees being pruned back to fit length
restrictions of 1.2 m.
The surcharges below are examples for one 10 kg carton (approx 10
bare rooted fruit trees) at the time of printing – for small orders it
may be less, for large orders it may be increased.
When you order we will quote you a delivery price which you will need to
confirm is ok with you before any payment. Orders to mainland Europe are sent by Fedex via a fully
trackable service.
Regrettably we cannot send plants to countries not listed below.
