Pear- Belle du Jumet
A hardy deciduous tree that will eventually reach 5 metres, the pear produces green to golden brown fruits from February (early) through until May (late.) They prefer a warm, sunny, sheltered position to set fruit successfully. Most varieties need to be cross-pollinated, which means planting more than one variety, where space is available it is best to go for a double-grafted pear (two varieties on the same plant.)
Pear trees prefer rich fertile soils (built up with peat and compost) that are free-draining, especially in winter months. They are hardy once established but require protection from severe frosts, which can damage the early blossoms. It also requires adequate moisture through the summer period. They are very versatile, in that they can be trained to bush, pyramid shape trees or they can be espaliered, cordon or fan-trained.
Pears are high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, dietary fibre, Niacin and are a good source of Potassium, as well as being low in saturated fat, cholestrol and sodium; The perfect snack!!
Belle du Jumet is a late (April-May)self-fertile variety. It produces a pale gold skin fruit with white flesh that is sweet and extremely juicy.
Current plant height approx 2 - 2.5m
Eventual growth height 4m+ - can be pruned to maintain smaller size auspicious
The picture shown is an example only of the fruit this tree can produce

Plums are divided into three main groups: P. domestica - European varieties (cooler growing conditions), P. salicinia - Japanese varieties (vigorous and tolerate warmer conditions), cherry plums and less common the damson plum.
A hardy, vigorous growing deciduous tree to 5 metres +, plums prefer a good winter chilling. They prefer fertile loamy soils rich in lime and potash. They will take heavy soils that are free-draining, situated in a sunny position sheltered from winds and frost pockets. They also respond to a balance fertiliser in early summer and periodic root pruning to control growth. Most plums require pollinators to set fruit.
Plums are a great low calorie snack; they are great source of Vitamin A and C, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Potassium and fibre. They are also high in Lutein which helps improve your vision. Plums have a number of uses, best eaten fresh, they can be preserved, stewed, dried, used in jams, chutneys and sauces or desserts.
Italian is large dark purple fruit with greenish yellow flesh which turns dark wine colour when cooked.Ideal for fresh eating,cooking and drying.Self fertile.
Current plant height approx 2m
Eventual growth height 3.5m
