Apple Trees

Apples are one of the easiest and most rewarding fruit trees to grow. We stock popular New Zealand favourites including Granny Smith, Royal Gala and Splendour, offering everything from crisp cooking apples to sweet eating varieties.

Pear Trees

Pear trees produce generous crops of delicious fruit while also making attractive feature trees. Our range includes Packham’s Triumph, Taylor’s Gold and the heritage favourite Winter Nellis.

Plum Trees

Plums are vigorous growers and often produce impressive crops with relatively little maintenance. Choose from classic varieties including Black Doris, Greengage, Omega, Coe’s Golden Drop and Reine Claude de Bavay.

Peach Trees

Nothing compares to the flavour of a tree-ripened peach. Our range includes traditional favourites like Black Boy and Gordons Glory, along with compact patio varieties such as Bonanza, Honey Babe and Pixzee that are perfect for smaller gardens.

Nectarine Trees

If you prefer smooth-skinned fruit, nectarines are an excellent choice. Flavourzee combines outstanding flavour with reliable cropping in sunny New Zealand gardens.

Apricot Trees

Apricots are among the earliest stone fruit to ripen each season. We grow trusted varieties including Moorpark, Royal Rosa, Sundrop and Trevatt, all producing delicious fruit when planted in a warm, sunny position.

Currants & Worcesterberries

If you’re looking to expand your edible garden beyond fruit trees, our range also includes Gloria de Versailles Blackcurrants and Worcesterberries. These productive shrubs are ideal for jams, desserts, baking and fresh eating.

Why Plant Fruit Trees?

Fruit trees are one of the best long-term investments you can make in your garden. Not only do they provide beautiful spring blossom and attract beneficial pollinators, but they’ll also reward you with years of fresh, seasonal fruit.

Many varieties begin producing within just a few years of planting, with harvests increasing as the trees mature. Homegrown fruit also tastes better, travels fewer kilometres and gives you complete control over how it’s grown.

Whether you’re planting one favourite variety or building your own backyard orchard, fruit trees offer beauty, shade and an annual harvest you’ll look forward to every season.

Choosing the Right Fruit Tree

Different fruit trees suit different climates and garden sizes.

Stone fruit such as peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums thrive in warm, sunny positions with well-drained soil. Apples and pears are more adaptable and perform well throughout much of New Zealand.

Some varieties require a compatible pollinator, while others are self-fertile. Each product page includes pollination information to help you choose the right combination for reliable crops.

Growing Fruit Trees Successfully

Fruit trees perform best in a sunny position with fertile, free-draining soil. Water regularly while establishing, apply mulch to retain moisture and feed each spring to encourage healthy growth and abundant fruit.

Annual winter pruning helps maintain shape, improves airflow and encourages productive fruiting wood, ensuring your trees continue producing quality crops for many years.
