Dear Customer
For 2013/14 we offer our extensive range of trees, to its normal high quality, but with
significant additions. Over the years we have tried to respond to customers’ demands
as much as possible, so we are expanding our range of choice and unusual ornamental shrubs. Stock is
supplied bare root and container grown in a range of sizes, but with the key note of quality. The majority of stock is
produced on site. All our own container grown stock is grown in 100% peat free compost. Also under the EU
Plant Passport legislation we are registered fireblight free.
The range we offer is based on our experience of what is healthy and thrives in the wet and windy southwest of
England. Therefore it is suitable for growing all over Britain. This catalogue can also be downloaded from our website
(www.thornhayes-nursery.co.uk). The website offers a wealth of information for people wishing to plant trees, including
a photo gallery. Our “Guide to Planting, Establishment and Formative Pruning” is included with this
catalogue.
Trade and retail customers are welcome to visit the nursery to view stock, but remember we are a working nursery
and except in the height of a dry summer, wellington boots are generally required. Advice is available from
staff on site and over the phone. After over 30 years’ working with trees, Kevin is a valuable source of technical
guidance, for trade and amateur customers. He can be booked for site visits and advisory work. Just contact the office
to arrange it.
To help customers in selecting trees, our arboretum area of about 2 acres has been set out alongside the
demonstration orchard. These two areas will be further developed in the coming years to offer an attractive aid
to customers both professional and amateur and facilitate the various training events that are held throughout the
year. Information on these courses can be found in the Events section of the website.Visitors are welcome to visit
and stroll around the arboretum and fruit orchards as they develop.
A large proportion of our stock is available container grown for planting all year round. We start lifting field
grown ornamentals in November and field grown fruit in December. These bare root plants are available until some
time in March, depending on the season. Mail orders are dispatched from December to March. For detailed
information on delivery please see the inside back cover of this catalogue.

F RUIT
SOME NOTES ON CHOOSING AND PLANTING FRUIT TREES
We offer a large range of fruit varieties that we have selected for their suitability for the South West of England. This means they
are generally suited to all of the wet and windy western side of Britain, as well as the easier East. They are vigorous and disease
resistant in most situations and suitable for growing without pesticide use.
In the following descriptions, the flowering periods for most fruit varieties are given in the RHS number category 1–7. Cider
apples are listed as Early, Mid or Late. However bear in mind that these periods overlap. For example, an apple in group 3 will be
pollinated by another variety in groups 2, 3 or 4. The best pollination occurs when there are two or more pollinators. Even selffertile varieties set better crops if cross pollinated. Pollination can be helped by planting other species of the same group nearby;
for example, crab apples to pollinate apples or pear species to pollinate pears. The flowering period for certain rare fruit
varieties may not be stated if we haven’t yet ascertained it.
Fruit trees flower at different times. Plums start first in March, then pears in April, and finally apples that go through May and
some into June. As plums and pears flower so early, the best results are achieved with the tougher self-fertile varieties planted in
sheltered sites. Pollination of all fruits can be improved by encouraging wild pollinating insects, keeping hives of bees near your
trees and maintaining or planting good sheltering hedges to reduce wind speed. Remember, though, that too little air movement
will encourage humidity and thereby scab infection.
As a rule of thumb, standard orchards in the South West are planted at 30 feet (9 metres) apart (about 60 trees/acre). Bush
trees are spaced at about 15 feet (4.5 metres). Bear in mind that vigour varies between varieties, irrespective of rootstock. On
the same rootstock a vigorous variety will grow bigger than a weaker growing variety. Both will grow bigger on richer, deeper
soil on a sheltered site and smaller on shallow poor soil or an exposed site.
Our trees are propagated on the rootstocks listed below. We find these are the best suited to the soils and conditions of the
wetter western side of Britain.

In the comments column you will find a number category to suggest scab resistance for most of the apples and pears described.
The scale is as follows:

No resistance – Total defoliation plus stem damage.
Little resistance – Over 50% leaf area damaged, plus some stem damage. Strong reduction in vigour.
Some resistance – Between 30% and 50% leaf area damage. Some reduction in vigour.
Modest resistance – Between 10% and 30% leaf area damage. Slight reduction in vigour.
Resistant – Up to 10% leaf area damage. Little reduction in vigour.
Very resistant – Little or no leaf damage. No reduction in vigour.
Certain varieties will also bear the following symbols: (C) Denotes varieties that are inclined to canker on heavy, wet soils; (PM)
Denotes varieties that we find are prone to powdery mildew; (T) Denotes triploid, requires two different pollinators.
Please note that these figures are a guide to help in selection. Individual sites will vary in their ability to encourage scab
and canker.

P RICES
2013/2014
• Our terms of trade are as printed on the inside of the back cover.
• Prices given are for individual trees (indicated by ‘each’ or ‘E’), or for customers ordering 30 plus trees (indicated by
‘W’ (wholesale) – varieties in any number over the whole range can be selected to qualify for the 30 plus rate).
• These prices are current until 31 May 2014; from 1 June 2014 catalogue prices for the 2014/2015 season
will operate.
• Trade customers ordering over 50 items in units of 5 minimum will get a 5% discount on the wholesale (W) prices.
FRUIT
The majority of our fruit is field grown and is therefore only available for sale from December.
Fruit prices
(Note: our field grown maidens may seem more expensive than those of some other companies offering maiden trees, but please do not be deceived.
Our trees are larger and stronger plants, produced by a longer-term technique.)
