Beautiful blossom, irresistable fruit. Savour home-grown cherries from trees selected by the UK's leading experts.

- We asked our expert fruit tree growers which fruits are best trees to grow in smaller gardens or pots and these are their top choices. John and Josh have over a hundred years of fruit growing in their family, so they should know!
- The 'Discovery' apple tree is Josh's favourite. He says it's the easiest to grow, crops well and tastes super sweet. It happens to be much more compact that other apples, growing to barely 3m tall and can be kept smaller with annual trimming. We wouldn't recommend Patio Apples, they can't be relied upon for good crops, but Discovery certainly can
- Brown Turkey fig is Josh's award-winning pick for its easy growing, compact size and the best taste of any fig. It loves to be grown in pots too, so you can pop it on the patio or on a balcony.
- 'Morello' cherry is recommended by John as it is a compact variety, which doesn't mind the shade. That means you have a few more options for placement, and it can be trained easily up a wall, saving even more space! The cherries themselves are world famous and the ultimate for pies and desserts.
