GROW YOUR OWN ORCHARD
Fruit Trees
At Hunters Garden Centre you can choose from a selection of fruit trees that are suitable to grow in the Greater Vancouver area. Our selection of fruit trees arrives in late February or early March and we carry them through the summer, normally selling out in early fall. You can choose from more than 100 varieties of large fruit trees.
Some fruit trees, like apples, require a second tree for pollination. So, to get more fruit ensure that you plant two varieties. If you have a small backyard with room for only one fruit tree, be sure to select a self-pollinating variety or one of our combination trees that has multiple varieties on the same tree. Most of the fruit trees available are semi-dwarf reaching approximately 15-20 feet high in 10 years. Some of the varieties available are dwarf and will reach approximately 10-15 feet high in 10 years.
