Forgotten Fruit Nursery

‘’Organic heirloom fruit trees from nurseryman to the grower direct” 

Our emphasis is to grow top quality fruit trees focusing on heirloom varieties suited to our North Island environment.  We have become popular with school orchards, community based orchards and home orchardists who are passionate about planting top quality trees.  With designing & planting orchards for lifestyler's, we have noted an emphasis for low maintenance systems, hardy old fashioned varieties and a balance of year round harvesting.

We recently talked to Tony Murrell and Helen Jackson from Radio Live about the benefits of pruning your heritage fruit tress so as to get the best fruit out of your trees.

In this month's feature we talk about mulching. As summer hits & grounds dry up, mulching is beneficial to hold moisture around the immediate area where the feeding roots of the tree live & grow. I am also working on some video's to show you examples of different systems & methods, so check back regularly. Send us an email if there is anything you would like us to cover in future editions.

Mulching also helps to cancel out competing grasses & weeds.  This is necessary, especially for the first few years of establishing trees.
