Keepers Nursery

Fantastic fruit tree nursery, has provided us with great advice and many healthy apple, pear, plum, quince and gage trees. They have also supplied our raspberry canes, especially selected for virus resistance, gooseberries and jostaberries. They open their gates once a year to the public to raise money for charity and I'd highly recommend making the effort to visit their amazing place to see for yourselves the extensive selection they have on offer, taste the fruit straight off the trees and give to a good cause. You will find everyone there knowledgeable and helpful.

Top quality bare root fruit trees and knowledgeable advise, great value, much cheaper than garden centres, mail order only.

The available range is fantastic, you can almost get hold of any cultivar on any rootstock, and even send your own budwood to be grafted, to preserve your own old fruit trees.

Their trained trees are really good and balanced, best to order in May as soon as the catalogue opens as they sell out quickly.

Having never bought a bare root tree before, I looked into the top providers so I could get some standard plum trees, and some fence-trained (espaliered) apple trees. The website explains cross-pollination partners brilliantly so my apples should all benefit from being in the vicinity of one another.

I also bought thornless blackberries and rhubarb which both arrived ready for planting in little boxes inside the big one with all 5 trees.

Although I ordered in September, they clearly stated that bare root trees won't be dispatched until November/December, and they kept me up to date with that information.

Their delivery partner was tuffnells who did damage a tree, and were a day late delivering (and didn't call me back) but that's what you get with outsourced logistics I suppose.

Keepers did offer me a partial refund for the damage, and have been excellent in offering me advice on how to get the most out of my trees.

Where previously I had a barren garden, now I've got my fingers crossed for a hefty fruit crop next year!

Disgusted- have spoken to 3 sites for supply of fruit Cordons today all very helpful-even when they were sold out.
I phoned 'Keepers', despite having seen a poor review and got some 'Brassy' little girl who told me that 'Pears are sold out and YOU CAN ONLY buy cordon Apples and Pears no other variety. !!!!!!!What a joke company.
I won't be dealing with them.

Just had delivery of my first order from Keepers Nursery and we were so impressed. Delivery by Tuffnells was great, the three plum trees were superbly well packed, the trees themselves are much bigger than we expected and look beautifully healthy. From start to finish this has been a really good experience and the detailed guidance given by Keepers on how we should plant our tress is much appreciated. Will definitely use this company again.

Range is amazing. There are updates of when the trees will arrive and their prices are more than reasonable ..... specialist knowledge like that available at Keepers is usually very expensive. They are keen to help and whatsmore their expertise comes with the ability to actually source the less common varieties. Brilliant. I have used them 4 times now, more than happy every time.

Terrific nursery, helpful staff and second to none quality trees.

We've bought from many nurseries over the years, with this year being our first order from keepers. We were placing a large and pretty complicated order, with 80 or so unique varieties and many changes made along the way.

The staff at keepers could not have been more helpful, chopping and changing as requested and offering great advice at all stages.

When the idiot I am took too small a van to pick up the whole order (a 200 mile drive) they even managed to rush out the remaining few on the next weeks delivery.

Although we wont know how well the trees establish for a little while yet, the size and apparent health of the trees is top notch - above anything I've experienced from previously used nurseries and at a lower cost to boot.

Top class, we'll no doubt be ordering for years to come.

Extremely happy with the 9 apple trees, the Brandy plum and soft fruit bushes 2x white currant 2x gooseberry.
Delivered as per emails and they are all planted.
I would like to thank all the staff and wish them the very best for this coming year.
