Welcome to fruitandnut.ie.
We are a specialist supplier of fruit and nut trees. We supply cobnuts, walnuts, heartnuts, chestnuts, apples, plums, damsons, cherries, mulberries, blueberries, sea buckthorn and many other less-common fruit and nut varieties. We also supply top quality garlic bulbs for planting.
All cultivars offered are suitable for Irish conditions. For the full range of stock available in 2011/12, including discounted or sale items, please refer to 'order' page.
We offer a consultancy service on fruit and nut growing in Ireland, undertake orchard establishment and maintenance work, and can advise on municipal or community nut and fruit tree planting projects. We can also provide technical assistance with applications for grant-aided projects. Site visits can be arranged upon request.
We also run one and two day horticultural workshops on a wide range of topics.
We are particularly interested in supporting the establishment of orchard projects with long-term strategic value in terms of local food security. We are currently providing technical assistance in the establishment of several commercial-scale cobnut orchards. Recently, we supplied the majority of the trees for a 800 tree cobnut project that we believe is the largest ever to take place in Ireland.We are currently working on a detailed assessment of the commercial and food-security potential of cobnuts in Ireland.
The full range of fruit and nut trees available this season (2011/12) can be found on the order page (see above). This season we are offering an even bigger range of trees and shrubs. Among the new items are fruiting varieties of aronia and honeysuckle, more varieties of cherries and blueberries, and an improved fruiting cultivar of the common elderberry.
