Hosted by Habitate Heritage Fruits Nursery: Supplying a diverse range of fruit trees, berry fruit bushes and companion plants. Most of our plants are heritage/heirloom varieties (pre-1930’s), and have been selected for our catalogue because they are diverse in their uses, tasty and easier to grow than most newer varieties which have been bred for industrial growing systems rather than home gardens.
