The Bernwode Plants nursery is in a tranquil position in rural Buckinghamshire, close to the Oxfordshire border and between Oxford and Aylesbury. It is set in our old hay meadows, at the edge of Rushbeds Wood, part of the ancient Royal forest of Bernwode. |

| CHANGES AT BERNWODE PLANTS The changeover from producing garden plants to producing only fruit trees requires a new website. We hope to have this available shortly. In the meantime, the printed fruit catalogue is now out of print and a new one will be produced for the autumn. While it is unavailable, the basic list on this website will be expanded with descriptions to help customers select and order trees. Please accept our apologies, while we are in the process or reorganizing the way we provide information to customers. Please note the new opening times below

|
Bernwode Plants is a specialist nursery with a wide range of historic fruit varieties. The nursery is open to visitors from March 1st to October 31st (see hours below) and fruit trees can also be ordered for delivery by courier in the UK throughout the year. Click here for Mail Order details Visitors are welcome between November and February, for fruit trees and bushes, which can be planted at any time of year but which seem to be more in demand in winter. In winter we ask that you should telephone in advance of visiting, to ensure that the nursery is staffed when you visit. Please do not visit out of season without telephoning, or we may be closed.

|
We grow several hundred rare and traditional varieties of fruit, including apples, pears, plums, gages, cherries, vines, medlars, quinces, mulberries and some soft fruit. We can graft new trees from customers' own trees. The fruit catalogue and fruit gift tokens can be ordered from this website (above). Fruit trees can be sent to customers by courier. Please see mail-order details. As we grow all the fruit trees ourselves, we are able to advise, with experience, on their growing habits and needs. |
|
The detailed fruit catalogue describes the varieties, along with historical background and cultural notes.The catalogue can be ordered, securely, online. Visitors to the nursery can look through our range of fruit photographs to assist in identification and choice. We also have detailed databases to help customers choose. Visitors can always rely on personal and knowledgeable advice. |
We
firmly believe in the benefits of organic cultivation and, as far as
possible, our fruit trees are grown and maintained by organic means.
We do not use inorganic pesticides, or fungicides. There is no "Organic
Standard" for container grown plants and such a plant
cannot be sold as "organic" with any legal meaning. The detail
of our research and experience on organic growing is available on a
separate page. Please click
