Fruit trees are an extremely diverse range of trees that come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and varieties. The only common feature of these trees is the fact that they all produce fruit that is formed from the ripened ovaries of flowers that contain at least one seed.
If you have not grown your own fruit before, then you should not be apprehensive to do so: some fruit trees are extremely easy to grow and you just need to give them enough water, a small amount of pruning and ensure that they are in the right growing situation.
People often assume that you need a large garden to grow your own fruit, but in reality you can choose a tree on a smaller rootstock and keep it in a large pot on a sunny patio.
Here, you'll find all kinds of wonderful fruit trees for sale.

Juglans Buccaneer
Buccaneer Walnut Tree
Common Name: Buccaneer Walnut TreeLatin Name: Juglans regia 'Buccaneer'Soil: Moderately fertile, well-drainedPosition: Full sunHardiness: Half-hardy, shelter from frostsFruit picking time: AutumnFruit size/colour: Medium sized/Golden brown shell with a creamy white nut The 'Buccaneer' is a Dutch variety of walnut which produces a wonderful crop of rounded nuts with creamy white coloured centres. The tasty fruits will usually appear after around 4 years and are a great choice for pickling. The tree itself has a fairly upright habit and is a popular avenue tree. This tree is a relatively heavy cropper and yet the quality is certainly not compromised because of the quantity. Although this is a self-fertile tree, crop yields will be increased further when you plant this tree with a pollination partner like Juglans Rita and it is also a good pollinator for other trees. If you want to pickle your walnuts then pick them in mid-summer before the shell has fully formed, otherwise pick them in autumn.
