The planting season is in their dormant season,  any time during the winter and early Spring months.

• Bare root fruit trees should be planted out when they are dormant  – from late October   until February or early March.  November & December are the best months as it gives the fruit trees time to settle in before the growing season.
• Pot grown fruit trees can be planted out almost anytime, as long as they are watered well & looked after for a good couple of years after planting
