Key Benefits

Increasing Plant Diversity

Agroforestry systems incorporate native fruit tree species, which might otherwise be underutilised or endangered. This supports the conservation of these species and contributes to the overall diversity of out fruit trees. The presence of different species leads to better pollination.

Improved Disease Resistance

Our organic methods, including biological pest control and natural fertilisers removes the need for chemical treatments. Therefore, our fruit tree systems are better able to cope with changing climate conditions, pests & diseases, ensuring long-term productivity and sustainability.

Strong Healthy Growth

We integrate our fruit trees with other trees, shrubs, and crops, create a favourable microclimate for fruit tree growth. For example, shade from taller trees protect our fruit trees from excessive heat and wind, reducing water stress and improving overall growth conditions.

Biodiversity Rules!

The key to growing healthy trees is to have healthy soil. Our soil is fed by a programme of green manures composted on-site and fed right back into the soil.This means we don't need to apply artificial chemical fertilisers to keep our trees happy.

A routine spray programme compromising organic seaweed extract, bio fertilisers and garlic oil is carried out throughout the growing season to help with pest and disease resistance as well as to promote strong health growth.We also encourage natural biological pest control by creating habitat for pest predators including ladybirds (whose larvae are voracious consumers of aphids) lacewigs, dragonflys, and a range of bugs and beetles. Pollunation is taken of by a small apiary consiting of hives of Welsh Black honeybees, not to mention the many kinds of bumble and solitary bees which thrive here on a bounty of forage we have established for them
