Many of these heritage Irish varieties were rescued from old gardens and orchards around the country. They include eaters, cookers, and dual purpose apples. Our trees are available on various rootstocks to suit small or larger gardens and we list the pollination group of every variety to make it easy for you to choose.
We wish to thank Irish Seed Savers for allowing us to photograph their wonderful collection of Irish Heritage Apples at their orchards in Scarriff, County Clare, and to acknowledge the valuable work they are doing in preserving many varieties of fruits and vegetables from extinction, thereby conserving a vitally important source of genetic diversity for future generations.
Most of our apple trees are sold in bareroot form from December to March. You can learn more about the differences between bareroot and potted plants and about getting started growing fruit in our advice section.
Potted apple trees are available at different times throughout the rest of the year, but the best selection, and the best time to plant, is in spring (April to June). Outside of these times our selection is more limited.
