We hope you will enjoy browsing through our latest catalogue and come to discover the delights of planting and tasting fresh healthy fruit from your own garden. The mystery of purchasing shop bought fruit will disappear as you will now know what sprays, chemicals and fertilisers have been applied to the food you eat. To ensure a wide selection of trees, we order from a number of different suppliers. Therefore, the availability of stock listed in this catalogue is subject to delivery from our suppliers. We will notify customers as their orders are filled and unless prior arrangements are made, we require all orders to be collected by the end of July. This will ensure that customers receive their trees in prime condition. Whilst Chandlers Nursery will take every possible precaution to ensure that the trees we sell are true to name and label, we cannot be held responsible for errors outside our control. We will replace wrongly labelled trees where possible or substitute where necessary, providing proof of purchase is presented. We advise you to pre-order to ensure your selection is available. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. PLANTING AND CARE The site of planting should be well prepared prior to planting. Dig a hole roughly double the size of the root ball and mix compost or manure with the existing soil. We recommend Chandlers Organic Compost for planting. Water in well with Seasol and firm the soil gently. Seasol stimulates root growth and minimises transplant shock. This is especially important as a lot of our fruit trees are ground grown and are dug up when dormant. Continue Seasol fortnightly until the beginning of spring. This will improve drought hardiness of your tree. For people in drier areas, it would be advisable to plant fruit trees with water storage crystals or Seasol Planting Gel. Spring is the time to mulch around your fruit trees, ensuring to leave a gap around the trunk. This helps retain moisture in the soil and prevents competitive weeds from sprouting. Our dry summers can make it hard for fruit trees to establish and we suggest several deep soakings a week either using an automatic system, or by hand. Increase this to 3-4 times a week in very hot weather. Pests and diseases can also hinder the establishment of your new fruit trees. We offer spray programs for the most common pests and diseases which are available in store or on our website. 1
