Which fruit trees to plant.

I want to plant from fruit trees on my allotment. I don't really want a massive crop of any type but I'd prefer really tasty varieties from the following;

plums
apples
pears
green gages
figs

Will somebody please point me in the right direction.

Cheers

Dereck

Have got some myself & they don't take a lot of room. Not had them long enough to comment on the fruiting. Figs need to be planted in a container as otherwise they grow very big.; ▶ Reply to This
